Food education is not compulsory in all schools and as a result many kids are so out of touch with what's on their plate that they don't know their basic fruit and vegetables and don't realise that real food doesn't come from a box.

We want to change the way people eat by educating every child about food, empowering families by arming them with the skills and knowledge to cook again, and inspiring everyone to stand up for their rights to better food; which in turn will fight the epidemic of diet-related diseases.
