Although overweight has many different causes, one thing that certainly doesn’t help is junk food. It’s not that junk food is a bad thing of itself, it’s just that a lot of people, especially children, eat it regularly.<\/p>\n

The real reason for the over-consumption of junk food is that people believe they don’t have time to cook, or are too stressed to even think about WHAT to cook. But as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver says, it’s actually a lot quicker and easier to cook up an exciting meal than it is to go driving to pick up a pizza, or wait to have it delivered.<\/p>\n

It’s not just that home-cooked meals are faster than buying junk food, it’s that the savings on food bills are extraordinary. Consistently cooking at home can save thousands of dollars every year. In addition, healthy fast cooking gives parents and children the nutrition they need to succeed at school, at sport, at work, and in life generally.<\/p>\n

Home-prepared food is the fastest, tastiest, cheapest, and all-round best way to go – if you know how to prepare it.<\/p>\n

From small beginnings, a new Australian web site hopes to help parents world wide to gain confidence preparing fast food at home by starting a “fast food bank” where people can freely upload their own favourite healthy fast food recipes and share others.<\/p>\n

A good example of great fast food is the first recipe uploaded to the site, tabouleh wrap with Eastern turkey. This dish packs a flavour punch that the whole family will love, is 100% healthy, takes only 15 minutes to prepare from start to finish, and yet is less than half the cost of the purchased product.<\/p>\n

As one of the projects of the globally-run Kind Communities Initiative, FastFoodBank.com is entirely free of charge. The aim is to fight back against disease and depression, by giving families the resources they need to live healthier, happier, and more satisfying lives.<\/p>\n
