Tuesday 1 October is World Vegetarian Day and while we are all very much meat-lovers here at N1 – we do after all provide the best quality meat Cape Town and Johannesburg has to offer – we don’t for a moment underestimate the importance of including fruit and vegetables in our daily eating plans.
We all know we need to eat five portions a day for optimal health, but do you know where and why the 5-a-day first began?
Today we take it for granted that a good many restaurants will cater for our children in terms of palate choices and portion sizes, but has this always been the case? I’m sure if you think back to when you were a child, there didn’t seem to be that many eateries that encouraged visits with little ones, but in today’s modern society a growing number of restaurants are realising that if they want the parents to dine out, then they should cater for the children as well. So when did the idea of the kids’ menu begin?
