    First Nations Voice to Parliament

    An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament:

    Statement from the Blue Mountains Food Co-op Board

    Blue Mountains Food Co-op supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart and in 2017 accepted its generous invitation to walk together with Indigenous Australians for a better future.

    Therefore, the Blue Mountains Food Co-op Board support recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our constitution and the establishment of a constitutionally enshrined Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

    This means that the Blue Mountains Food Co-op Board supports a YES vote in the upcoming referendum.

    Blue Mountains Food Co-op Members may have many different points of view so the Board encourages our community to engage thoughtfully and respectfully with each other on this issue.

    Why diets don’t work (and it’s not your fault!)

    Keto, alkaline, intermittent fasting, paleo…  have you tried them all without success? Maybe that’s because diets just don’t work.

    Blue Mountains Food Co-op presents dietitian and mindful eating specialist, Sallyanne Pisk, with a no nonsense, myth busting women’s health talk about Why Diets Don’t Work (and it’s not your fault).

    Sallyanne is a Blue Mountains based practitioner and teacher who focuses on Eating for You. “At my talks, I hear many stories about how confusing healthy eating has become – there is always new research and new ‘diets’ promising all sorts of cures and results. Mindful eating and living focuses your attention on why, what, how, and when you eat and helps you to identify choices that will improve your overall health and wellbeing.” Sallyanne Pisk

    The aim of the talk for Women’s Health Week is to share why diets don’t work and why it is not your fault.

    • Learn the secret to changing your eating habits for good, and it is not a diet.
    • Remove the confusion and overwhelm about what to eat without focusing on food or the number on the scales.
    • Be empowered to move forward with your knowledge of what nourishes you and confidently do it with ease.
