00:00:10and twenty five percent of children are
00:00:12overweight or obese diet-related disease
00:00:15is the biggest killer in the country and
00:00:18you have the first generation right now
00:00:21of children expected to live a shorter
00:00:24life than their parents which in 2010 is
00:00:28ridiculous you know Australia for me is
00:00:31a country full of open-minded cooking
00:00:34incredible produce some of the best
00:00:36chefs in the world and yet even though
00:00:39this cooking shows all over TV there’s
00:00:41this massive health epidemic related to
00:00:44food I want to make this with you a
00:00:46great success I know that the Ministry
00:00:49of Food changes lives it empowers people
00:00:51it saves people money and it makes them
00:00:54happier enjoy food more and most
00:00:56importantly makes them not a statistic
00:00:59it makes you more healthy
00:01:04so the Ministry of Food Australia to me
00:01:06is the start a seed of something quite
00:01:09powerful that can go across Australia
00:01:12it’s not just going to be shops and
00:01:13kitchens in communities that need help
00:01:15it’s also going to be mobile kitchens
