The Grampians Pyrenees Healthy Eating Working Group (HEWG) was established in October 2005. The group consists of dietitians, school representatives, environmental health officers, community nurses, health workers and community members from across the Pyrenees, Ararat Rural City and Northern Grampians Shires. The purpose of the group is to identify and address barriers to people eating health food.  
       

                                 

                                                                        'Food for Thought'

HEWG in conjunction with food retailers from across the Pyrenees, Ararat Rural City and Northern Grampians Shires created a brochure which aims to make it easier for people to make a healthy choice when eating out. The brochure identifies businesses that offer meals which have a high nutritional content, are low in fat or are suitable for people with special dietary needs. All buisnesses listed in the brochure have worked with a dietitian to identify healthy choices on the menu.
