Catering
Much of the food that we eat nowadays is bought outside the home and so in order to enable people to eat more healthily it is important that catering outlets are encouraged to provide healthier options.
Many community cafés are set up with the main aim of supplying more affordable meals, snacks and drinks, and many also focus on healthier home-cooked dishes using lots of vegetables and fruit. They are generally based in community centres and are often run by volunteers on a not-for-profit basis to keep down the cost of the food.
Healthier catering initiatives may also take place in a variety of other settings including restaurants, cafés, schools, hospitals, leisure centres, or workplaces. Catering initiatives may also focus on reducing the impact on the environment, for example by sourcing more local produce and reducing waste.
