It’s World Vegetarian Day so we’re asking about the benefits of kids going veggie!

A friend recently rang Kalila all a fluster asking what we thought about vegetarian diets for young children?

October “Eat Healthy” – Variety is the spice of life

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says the word “diet”? Boring?!!!
