Food for Life: Rosemary Stanton on Eating Well and Saving the Planet e 28
Australia’s pioneering public-health nutritionist explains why what we eat matters not only for our health and longevity, but also for the future of the planet.
My guest today is someone whose name many Australians will immediately recognise. Dr Rosemary Stanton has spent almost six decades helping Australians understand food, health and nutrition. Rosemary was one of Australia’s pioneers in public-health nutrition, the country’s first sports nutritionist, and has written more than 30 books as well as thousands of articles. She received an OAM for her contribution to community health through education in nutrition and dietetics.
But what particularly interests me now is that Rosemary’s thinking has expanded beyond simply asking what is good for us? She is increasingly asking what kind of food system will be good for our children, grandchildren and the planet? At UTS’s Institute for Sustainable Futures, where she is now an Industry Fellow, Rosemary continues to advocate for healthier and more sustainable food systems—encouraging us to eat more plant foods and to think carefully about our growing dependence on ultra-processed foods.

Stitching Stories 27 Today I’m talking to someone whose work has travelled far beyond the sewing room. Jenny Bowker is an internationally recognised Australian quilter, teacher and artist whose quilts have been exhibited and admired around the world. But what fascinates me about Jenny is not simply her extraordinary skill with fabric and thread. It’s the world that quilting creates around women. Quilting can look, at first glance, like a quiet domestic craft. Yet when you look more closely, it becomes something much more powerful — a way of preserving history, telling stories, expressing identity, building friendships and creating communities. And perhaps most interestingly, quilting has created an international network in which women teach one another, support one another and share stories across cultures and generations. That raises a much bigger question for me: Can something traditionally associated with women’s domestic lives actually become a powerful form of cultural expression — and even a way of challenging a male-dominated world?
