Eat smart for our world<h2 class="sectHeading">Introducing the Smart Eating Guide </h2><p> <a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Family%20and%20home/Greener-living/Green-gardening-and-eating/Why-eat-healthily/Why%20eat%20healthily?">Healthy eating</a> is important for our bodies to stay in good shape and for us to avoid disease. Eating smartly is absolutely essential if we want to help save our environment and ensure we can still rely on our natural resources for a long time into the future.
