Plate with a Mate
Sometimes friend power is better than willpower.
We recently sat down with Eat Well Tasmania to chat nutrition, sustainability and seasonality. Their goal, to create healthier Tasmanians. How? By engaging food and agriculture aligned industries to champion healthy eating, promoting opportunities to enjoy seasonally grown Tasmanian produce.
With their recent campaign in the lead up to Plate for a Mate day this Tuesday the 22nd of Feb, we were curious, where do they see Tasmanian venues fitting in to these conversations.
Tasmanian venues are frequently at the forefront of these conversations. By supporting Tasmanian producers and crafting menus based on seasonality, our local cafes and restaurants provide a space for you to be socially connected while eating well.

“When we eat with others, we have a natural tendency to use their behaviour as a guide—when we eat with a friend who’s chosen a meal with plenty of fruit and veg we are more likely to Eat Well too.”
