One-liners you don’t want to miss:

“We can look at what Aussie’s are purchasing and when we look at the most recent data we see that only 1/3 of the recommended daily serves of grains and cereals foods were actually those that were whole grain or high in fibre. This is quite low and a steady decline from the previous 3-4 years.”

“Weet-Bix can be that vehicle to top with your favourite chopped fruit, milk of choice, low fat yoghurt, sprinkle of nuts and seeds and you pretty quickly have a well-rounded brekkie.”
