The best that South Africans can do is to grow their own food.. This genetically modified foods is the best cause of cancers and and diabetes in South Africa
Nomonde is the victim of bad diet of sugar.. Is she pregnant or is just a bigggggggg tummy?
About time we stop buying certain foods that is outrageously expensive as people we should just stop buying certain foods we don't even need the unhealthy food prices is just unreal so much can e done but people just want to fill there pockets not cared about other and some foods are so contaminated so bad
You know what, I tell you what. If the people you talk about vote differently in the upcoming elections and there is a chance in the government there after then I will support you. If not then these people should chew what they eat.
Please make it make sense! You’re telling me that Nestle is producing food for BABIES in our country (South Africa) that contains harmful amounts of sugar. But in their own country where they’re based, the very same food is produced with zero added sugar? Make it make sense! Why are they still allowed to operate in our country!? Lets Boycott Nestle ✊🏾✊🏾🇿🇦
So not only do the big MNCs pollute our air through where they choose to locate harmful industries. But the gall of Nestlé to have different standards for baby food production in Switzerland 0% sugar and 6% in Africa. Where will it ever end.
This is very important I wish this message can be spread all over to our schools. Everything must be started at early stages to be introduced. People are lacking in knowledge where as some ignoring it. You can't choose to buy 1 fizzy drink over 2 different vegetables with same price. Our schools need to be educated. You are doing great job. Thank you.
+40%on all products since Covid19 and the war in GAZA and Ukraine, and ppl around the world r suffering with less or no food on the plate. 😭

Genuine questions: So we have policies in place, are they being implemented? Additional tax on high sugar food stuffs provides extra money to the government to allocate to healthy initiatives, but are we confident that this is where the money is actually spent?
But why in things that include poverty and ill health, blacks are used as models every time. whites are affected by obesity even more, can't you guys use them. Watching black hawk simulating robbery and tactical response, guess who they used to model as thieves, blacks, and white guys were chasing them in the set. And why even in adverts we see light skinned people, there's method in this madness, things should change.
This is definitely something that needed to be highlighted, a great topic for discussion
Definitely a topic to chew on! Thanks for highlighting the realities of nutrition for so many of our South African households.
The Nestlè example is sad meaning they violate our right to nutritious food from the time we are babies, we are actually pre-exposed to diabetes from the time we are unable to make our own healthy food choices. They’re no better than dictators and what’s worse there won’t be accountability they will just get a fine which is a slap on the wrist. Our government needs to step up in protecting its citizens. These are the conversations we need in our society. #betterlabelsbetterchoices
