Healthy Choices Workshops

What is a ‘healthy balanced diet’?

What do the food labels really mean?

How much is too much – fat, sugar, salt?

We are launching new workshops to provide information on healthy eating, food labels and answer your questions about healthy eating. If you would be interested in coming along to this workshop please pop into our Co-op shop or call 0131 467 7678 to sign up and let us know your availability.
