Feed The Tribe knows from experience that people today are busy. It’s tough juggling families, social and health expectations, work, the ever increasing social lives of our children and the effects of the economy! Until now there has been little understandable practical help for people wanting to eat healthily, reduce food wastage and save money yet at the same time actually enjoy eating the meals!
Feed The Tribe is not about diets and exercise regimes. What we are about is providing the practical tools that help you satisfy the wants of your family, at the same time ensuring that they eat healthily and that you are able to save money to spend on other things. The cost of food is only going to rise, so now more than ever, saving money on the food you buy needs to be a priority.
At Feed The Tribe our philosophy is simple: Plan ahead by choosing a menu customised for your family’s requirements, follow the plan and you can enjoy everything in moderation.
No-one would choose to throw money into the bin, yet by not planning, over portioning and having food wastage this is exactly what we are doing! WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme 2009 report) estimates that the average UK household throws away £480 per year in food waste through overportioning and over buying, this becomes £680 if you have children, that's just over £56 a month! The only ones to benefit from this are the supermarkets and their profits.
Over portioning is the single largest reason for weight gain in adults and children. We all know that obesity is the biggest social and health problem to hit the UK yet diets are not the answer. Diets are not necessary for the majority of adults and certainly not necessary for children. Eating good healthy everyday meals in the correct portion size, taking average exercise and controlling snacks is all that we need.
Feed The Tribe provides the tools to enable you to:
- Plan a menu your family will eat that can be as flexible as you need
- Control snacks so you are in charge of the biscuit tin!
- Print a shopping list to help make the shopping a more pleasurable, planned and economical experience
- Print recipes for all your favourite dishes that have been discretely adapted to make them more healthy without losing flavour
- Choose the more healthy convenience foods when you require them
- Save money by reducing wastage and only buying what you actually need
Feed The Tribe works not because it is a radical lifestyle change, but because it helps you to get organised and economical in feeding yourself and your family, and in the current economic climate, saving money is a big plus!!
