    Ethical & Sustainable Eating Course

    A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 10 Lessons

    When striving for a healthy body, often the remedy lies in what we consume, yet sometimes it is dependent upon what we leave out. The question is how do we know what to eat or drink, and what not to? This is the domain of ethical and sustainable eating.

    Offering a comprehensive introduction to modern day diets, this Ethical & Sustainable Eating course looks at how we can all make valuable changes in the way we think about food, and how we can adapt our current food practices.  In today’s often fast-paced society, we are frequently tempted by convenient food products rather than making fresh meals from scratch. In the long-term, however, this not only affects the health of our planet, but public health, coinciding with a rise in obesity and diabetes.

    The course aims to provide an engaging insight into sustainable and ethical eating, helping health conscious individuals follow a balanced diet whilst designing more environmentally considered eating practices. It does not stress an all-or-nothing approach, but rather increases awareness of our food choices. Ethical and sustainable eating means eating healthy food as close to its natural state as possible, characterized by unrefined, unprocessed, organic and locally grown whole foods.

    This subject is complemented by our Plant Based Nutrition Course (Vegan).
