The Chorlton Fairtrade and Food group wanted to find out what stopped people from eating healthy food. So during March 2007, we went out and asked the Chorlton community.

We learned that everyone would like to eat good healthy food and many do.

We also learned that some people think they do not have time to cook, shop or grow good healthy food. It is too much effort when they are busy, tired and stressed.

Others are not sure how to cook or grow food.

Still more are reliant on other people to shop and cook for them and must eat what they are given (often unhealthy and not even tasty!).

We also asked people to suggest how they could eat more healthily and many of those ideas are here on this website.

Come with us on our journey of discovery.
