In November 1914 a convoy of ships from the Royal Australian Navy, New Zealand, Britain and Japan departed from Albany in Western Australia carrying 30,000 troops who would become the first ANZACS bound for service in the First World War. Enroute HMAS Sydney sank the German Raider Emden, ensuring safe passage through the Indian Ocean. Simply specify the age for a suitable recipient on your tag and place it under the tree in the library. Email: [email protected] The Informer...

Everyone is talking about it...CLEAN EATING...but what really is it? The soul of clean eating is consuming food in its most natural state, or as close to it as possible. It is not a diet; it’s a lifestyle approach to food and its preparation, leading to an improved life – one meal at a time. Eat five to six times a day: Three meals and two to three small snacks. Include a lean protein, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, and a complex carbohydrate with each meal. This keeps your body energized and burning calories efficiently all day long. Make sure to drink at least two litres of water a day. Get label savvy: Clean foods contain just one or two ingredients. Any product with a long ingredient list is human-made and not considered clean. Avoid processed and refined foods: This includes white flour, sugar, bread and pasta. Enjoy complex carbs such as whole grains instead. Know thy enemies: Steer clear of anything high in saturated and trans fats, anything fried or anything high in sugar. Shop with a conscience: Consume humanely raised and local meats. Choose organic whenever possible: If your budget limits you, make meat, eggs, dairy your organic priorities. Consume healthy fats: Try to have essential fatty acids, or EFAs, every day. Learn about portion sizes: Work towards eating within them. Reduce your carbon footprint: Eat produce that is seasonal and local. It is less taxing on your wallet and our environment. Slow down and savour: Never rush through a meal. Food tastes best when savored. Enjoy every bite! Take it to go: Pack a cooler for work or outings so you always have clean eats on the go. Make it a family affair: Food is a social glue that should be shared with loved ones. Improve the quality of your family’s life along with your own.
