CookSmart (9th Issue) Page3

Words from the Editor

The temperature often reaches 32ºC even in September, what can we do to cool down the Earth? Why not consider a “low-carbon diet”? I am not referring to the “Atkins Diet”! Low-carbon here means low carbon emission – eating “local ingredients”, “seasonal produce”, “more vegetables and less meat” and avoiding “over-eating” which are healthy practices that can help slow down global warming. This issue of CookSmart highlights a number of low-carbon recipes with “low-carbon tips” shared by our dietitians. Let’s go green while pursuing good health!
