Nothing says spring like the sight of luscious Australian-grown asparagus on supermarket shelves. With ideal growing conditions and increased plantings, asparagus lovers are in luck this year with the season (August to March) shaping up to be the biggest crop on record. When it comes to choosing your bunch, Australian asparagus grower and President of the Australian Asparagus Council,James Terry shares his advice for ensuring you pick the most crisp,moist and juicy spears. “Look for firm, bright and smooth spears that are uniform in size with closed, compact tips. To keep them fresher for longer,store them similar to fresh cut flowers. Stand the spears upright in a container with 1cm of cold water, cover and place in the fridge,” said Mr Terry.
Not only delicious, the vegetable also packs a nutritional punch. Accredited Practising Dietitian Glenn Cardwell says, “A serve of asparagus, about three to four spears, boasts a quarter of your daily vitamin C needs, and provides B vitamins, potassium, and fibre.” He adds, “Being a versatile vegetable, there are many ways to easily boost your nutrition by adding asparagus to your everyday meals. Simply cook on the BBQ, toss it through a stir-fry, roast in the oven, blanch, steam or boil. Eaten raw or cooked, it is also a tasty addition to soups, salads, pastas, pizza, wraps and dips.” »

TOP TIPS TO ENJOY
Asparagus
PREPARE: Wash and simply snap off any woody ends with your forefinger and thumb.Alternatively, run a knife along the stalk until it meets less resistance, and then cut the end off at this point.
BLANCH: Place one to two bunches in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Stand for 30-60 seconds. Remove asparagus and place in bowl of cold water for one minute to prevent further cooking. Remove and pat dry.
MICROWAVE: Place two bunches in a microwave safe dish. Cover and cook on HIGH for two to three minutes. Remove from microwave and set aside for one to two minutes.
STEAM: Place asparagus in a steamer over a saucepan filled with 2cm boiling water.Cover and steam for three to five minutes or until asparagus is just tender but still vibrant green.
ROAST: Pre heat oven to 210°C. Place two bunches in a large bowl and combine with two to three teaspoons of olive oil, chopped garlic (optional), salt flakes and freshly ground pepper. Roast asparagus until just tender, approximately six to eight minutes.  PAG E 1 6

BBQ: Place two bunches in a large bowl and combine with two to three teaspoons of olive oil, chopped garlic (optional), salt flakes and freshly ground pepper. Heat BBQ and cook until just tender, around four to five minutes, turning after two minutes. Serve immediately.

DID YOU KNOW? On the third spring after planting, the vegetable will rapidly grow the edible spear that we eat, one to two cm per hour! All Aussie spears are harvested by hand in the early morning when they are the perfect length and packed that day to hit shelves as soon as possible.

ASPARAGUS, TOMATO AND PARMESAN SALAD Cook Time: 6-8 minutes
INGREDIENTS
3 bunches asparagus, woody ends removed 1 bunch sage, leaves picked off stems Salt and pepper 250g mixed cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1/4 cup chopped chives 4 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs (see Tip) 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar or wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon sugar 100g parmesan cheese, shaved (see Tip)
PAG E 2 0
Serves: 4
METHOD
1. Cut the asparagus spears into 3. 2. Chop half of the sage leaves and leave the rest whole. 3. Heat a large non-stick pan until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon or a good lug of oil and toss in half the asparagus. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until hot and just seared. (They will keep cooking so only JUST cook them). Transfer to a bowl and continue cooking the remaining asparagus. 4. Put another lug of olive oil into the pan and add the tomatoes and whole sage leaves and a sprinkle of salt. Toss over a high heat until the sage leaves are wilted, then add them to the asparagus together with the chives. 5. Wipe out the pan, add some more oil and then add the chopped sage leaves, Panko breadcrumbs and some salt and pepper. Move the crumbs around the pan until nicely toasted and then pour into a separate bowl. 6. Mix the vinegar with the sugar to dissolve and then add to the salad tossing well before transferring to a plate. Sprinkle with the shaved Parmesan and sage crumbs and serve at once.
Tips • You can eat this salad at room temperature. Try to make the same day you want to eat it, as the asparagus gets softer. • If you can’t find sage use fresh picked basil. If you use basil leaves there is no need to cook them. • Panko breadcrumbs are Japanese-style breadcrumbs that have a lovely crunchy texture. They are available at Asian grocery stores or the Asian food section of supermarkets. • For those on a gluten free diet, use rice crumbs (available in health food stores) instead of the Panko breadcrumbs. • Use the side of your grater to shave the parmesan cheese or buy shaved parmesan.

After reviewed over 200 different ingredients, we felt sunflower oil was the best substitute from an environmental and product quality perspective. Also unlike oils such as coconut, sunflower oil doesn’t require a tropical environment in which to grow, therefore isn’t linked to rainforest deforestation.

Foreign-owned ad agency paid $3 million for dumped logo
$3 Million “Covid � Logo Dumped by Feds A golden wattle-inspired logo created to spruik Australian products at international trade shows has been dumped after being widely mocked for looking like a coronavirus cell. The design was created by Clemenger BBDO Sydney, 73% owned by global advertising giant Omnicomm since 2010. The design, that looks like a covid-19 virus saw the agency paid $3 million to create something the minister dumped. Please explain why it cost such a huge amount of money and why it didn't go to an Australian agency? PAG E 2 6
The National Brand Advisory Council that commissioned the logo is made up of national business leaders, including mining billionaire Andrew Forrest, Glenn Cooper of Coopers brewery (and The Australia Made Campaign) and Australia Post chief executive Christine Holgate. It finished its work on the replacement logo at the end of 2019. Senator Birmingham said on Thursday the wattle-inspired design had never been intended to replace the famous kangaroo, which has been in use since the 1980s.

Changing social expectation lead to rebrand In an incredibly topsy turvy world that has been giant bushfires and the covid-19 world pandemic the other great change has been black lives matter. This lead to massive riots in the USA and protests around the world including Australia on June 6. Following the massive rebellion a lot of scrutiny has been placed on the name of products that may be overtly or covertly racist.
HERE ARE A LIST OF PRODUCTS THAT ARE LIKELY TO HAVE THEIR NAMES CHANGED.
COON CHEESE Coon cheese will be renamed after a Canadian dairy company Saputo acknowledged the racist undertones of the brand name. “We believe we all share in the responsibility to eliminate racism in all its forms and we feel this is an important step we must take to uphold this commitment,” the company said in a statement. Saputo has previously defended the cheese brand, saying it was named in 1926 after American founder Edward William Coon. Campaigner Dr Stephen Hagan said he was “relieved” to have won the 21 year battle to change the name of our most famous cheese. “I don’t take delight in doing it, but I was offended by these things,” he said. “This is another win I can chalk up.” Dr Hagan said he would continue fighting to change the names of brands, places and landmarks that were discriminatory including Samboy Chips and the banning of golliwogs. PAG E 3 0
REBRAND
SAMBOY CHIPS The iconic chip brand, now owned by Snack Brands, was purchased by Phillipines company Universal Robina Corporation (URC) in August 2016. Mr Hagan, said he is now turning his attention to Samboy Chips! The Australian Made chips sell over 200 million packets per annum and claims 74% of Australian households buy at least one packet every year.
REDSKIN AND CHICOS Nestle said the decision to change the names of the famous lollies “acknowledges the need to ensure that nothing we do marginalises our friends, neighbours and colleagues”. The company said it was yet to decide on the new names but “we will move quickly” to make the change. A redskin is a slang term for Native Americans that is widely considered to be offensive. Chico is the Spanish translation for “boy” and can be offensive to people of Latin-American descent.
ESKIMO PIE Foreign-owned Peters Ice cream is planning to change the name as a result of racially charged logos and marketing. “Peters Ice Cream is committed to being part of the solution on racial equality. Eskimo Pie is a brand within our portfolio that we are currently reviewing to ensure our company and brands reflect our values. We will determine the best way forward and communicate the changes as soon as possible.” the company said. Alaska Natives prefer to be known as Inupiaq or Yupik and “Eskimo” is fading from use but some organizations still use “Eskimo”. This push has clearly come from the US. »

COLONIAL BREWING The Colonial Brewing Co in Western Australia is considering changing its name following pressure from the Black Lives Matter movement due to the use of the word ‘colonial’.

The Margaret River-based brewery confirmed it was reviewing the name and acknowledged the “significant stress and angst surrounding the Black Lives Matter community”.

SOME OTHER FAMOUS NAME CHANGES
ARNOTT'S GOLLIWOG BISCUITS Became Scalliwags and are presumably no longer manufactured. NI##ER BOY LICORICE Nobody could argue about this one. The National Liquorice company produced these liquorice blocks throughout the 1950s and 1960s. FAGS Not only was the snack shaped like a cigarette but it’s also a homophobic slur. Attitudes have changed dramatically towards both smoking and same-sex relationships and they were renamed to Fads in the ’90s. CREOLE CREAMS When Coles introduced a home brand Oreo-style chocolate biscuit with white cream filling back in 2009-2013. The public backlash eventually forced them to change the name.

Who Is Buying Australian Agriculture Land? Foreign interests own around 4.6% or 2.5 million hectares of agricultural land in NSW and the ACT, according to the 2017-2018 Register of Foreign Ownership of Agricultural Land. This compares to 13.4% nationally – where the United Kingdom tops the foreign ownership charts, followed by China and then the US. • Sources: Register of Foreign Ownership of Agricultural Land 2018 and Register of Foreign Ownership of Water Entitlements 2018, Australian Taxation Office, Foreign Investment Review Board Annual Report 2017–18 • 9.4% of the Murray Darling Basin’s water entitlements have a level of foreign interest ownership. Surprisingly perhaps, in terms of value, Canada took the lead nationally as the largest foreign investor in Australian agriculture last year, displacing China. Canadian investment was largely driven by pension funds. Canada was followed in 2017-18 by China and the United States, and then by Dutch and UK investors. »

In total, 201 foreign interests received approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board to spend $7.9 billion on agriculture, fisheries and forestry assets in Australia – up from $7 billion in 2015/16. Approval is only required if purchases exceed $15 million. Philip Jarvis, managing director of agricultural investment adviser Direct Agriculture, says that Canadians and Americans are by far our largest foreign investors, and that Chinese interest is waning. This year Rifa Salutary, the Australian arm of China’s Zhejiang Rifa Holding Group, began offloading its entire portfolio of 14 rural properties, totalling 44,000ha, which it had amassed since 2014. This includes three large properties in NSW: Cooplacurripa Station near Gloucester, Ashleigh Station near Moree, and Middlebrook Station near Tamworth. “Over the past four years we have seen probably the greatest influx of Chinese capital into Australian agriculture we have ever seen and it’s retreating,” says Philip. “If there is a washout of Chinese capital, you are going to see the Saudis and Emiratis come into Australia. It’s just the ebb and flow of capital.”

FIND YOUR VEG INSPIRATION WITH TRY FOR 5 TRY FOR 5 IS RUN BY NUTRITION AUSTRALIA ANNUALLY AS PART OF NATIONAL NUTRITION WEEK (11-18 OCTOBER 2020). National Nutrition Week is just around the corner. The annual event is celebrated all across Australia 11-18th October, with a week of events aimed at raising awareness of the role of food on our health. We know food has a major impact on how we feel, work, live and play. Not only does a balanced diet keep us fit and healthy, new research is finding links between consumption of veg and better mental health. And with the impact of the current Coronavirus pandemic on our physical and mental well-being, it seems eating veggies is more important than ever! As part of National Nutrition Week, each year Nutrition Australia launch the Try for 5 campaign. This year, Try for 5 is all about vegetables! The campaign, ‘Find Your Veg Inspiration’, sets to bring Aussies the latest and best of vegetable recipes, tips and hacks to make eating vegetables fun and exciting! PAG E 3 8

WHY EATING VEG IS SO IMPORTANT. Vegetables are great for our health. They provide us with important nutrients and can be protective against many diseases including heart disease and diabetes. But it seems in recent years, Aussies are struggling to eat enough vegetables. Only 7% Australian adults and 5% of kids are eating the recommending serves of veggies. The Coronavirus pandemic has certainly impacted our eating habits. More than half of Australians (54%) whose diets have changed in lockdown say they have put on weight, have let themselves go or are feeling sluggish and slow, according to a survey by The Heart Foundation. Aussie’s are also eating more snack foods and consuming more alcohol. The pandemic has also seen more and more people are preparing food at home. Family dinners, breakfast and lunches have resurged, and majority of families are eating together at home. This shift to family meals is one of the few good things happening as a result of the pandemic. Many Australians are really experiencing the joys of eating together with family regularly. VEGETABLES ARE GOOD FOR MORE THAN JUST OUR HEALTH With the state of Aussie’s diets and the increase in home-cooked meals, there’s no better time to increase veg intake. And not only is increasing veg is good for health, it seems more veggies eaten means more demand for growers and a boost to the economy. Third-generation vegetable grower Matthew Young owns Elphin Grove Farm in Tasmania’s north-west. Matthew and his wife Ruth, as well as his parents Ian and Lesley, are all Directors of Elphin Grover Farm. With vegetable consumption low in recent years, the family have shifted to running a mixed farming operation, selling produce to various industries including fresh market, supermarkets, restaurants, and the pharmaceutical industry. The family also plan to undergo further changes over the next decade to maintain Elphin Grove Farm’s profitability and sustainability as a farming enterprise. »

“The whole process behind [shifting to a mixed farming operation] was a challenge. It’s a big difference when you’ve got to sell something directly as opposed to just through a contract.”, said Mr Young. “We’re interested in trialling things and the possibility of picking up other crops, but we have got to be smart about it and not overextend ourselves”. But if more Aussies were eating the recommended amount of veg each day, farming families like The Youngs would see a boost in their sales, and a more reliable market long term. FIND YOUR VEG INSPIRATION This year’s Try for 5 campaign, ‘Find Your Veg Inspiration’, aims to inspire with a collection of new vegetable-focused recipes, as well as tips, info and hacks from our nutrition & food experts to get more veg into your day. We have also teamed up with some of our favourite veg lovers across the country. Our veg ambassadors are passionate about food and vegetables and each bring with them their best tips and hacks to get Aussies eating more veg. Our veg ambassadors are: • Simon Toohey • Oliva Andrews • Steph Geddes • Tara Leong • Melanie Lionello • The Lunchbox Dad

From delicious dishes, to food waste tips, how-to-cook tutorials and veggie hacks for fussy kids, the Try for 5 website has something for everyone. During National Nutrition Week our veg ambassadors will share one of their favourite veggie dishes for Aussies to make at home. Each day, Australians will have the chance to cook the daily veg recipe, shoot it, post it and share it on their social media with #Tryfor5. At the end of the week, we will announce a winner – the Tryfor5 VegMaster. We’ll also publish all the dishes home cooks have made on the website for a whole year.

Season the zucchini, brush with a little olive oil and cook on the grill until golden, but not too soft a couple of minutes each side should do. 2. When the corn is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob, Discard the code and set aside the kernels. 3. On a large serving platter or bowl, assemble the salad by layering, starting with the zucchini, then the corn, cherry tomatoes, black beams and finish with the avocado slices. Drizzle a little dressing on each layer as you go. Season with slate pepper, drizzle remaining dressing and scatter coriander leaves on top. 4. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until combined. Taste for seasoning. Add some water, a tablespoon at a time until you get a tin pouring consistency like cream.

World Vegan Month, November 2020 THAT’S RIGHT, THERE IS ACTUALLY A MONTH FOR VEGANS TO CELEBRATE VEGANISM.
PAG E 6 8
You may think Veganism is a fairly new lifestyle choice but our research shows that the vegan lifestyle has been around forever, and the official Vegan Society has been around for 75 years. SO… WORLD VEGAN MONTH, WHAT IS IT, WHAT DOES IT ACHIEVE? Well the main message Vegans want to share is obviously the many benefits that being vegan can provide for your health, both physical and mental health and the satisfaction of supporting the broader issues around animal welfare and environmental preservation. Vegan month is an opportunity for Vegans to share information, recipe’s, tips and generally be loud and proud of veganism. There is also World Vegan Day, embracing the same celebration themes as World Vegan Month, just for the day. »

VEGAN
The Vegan Society encourages all Vegans to host a vegan food party, with family, friends or work mates, not easy to do this year with Covid ravaging the world, but you can still be active by sharing recipe’s on Social Media or just basically be out and proud. Many people are vegan curious so the more information and exciting eating options out there the more people will embrace the vegan life choices. The great news for Vegans is the amount of Vegan friendly products entering the market making it easier to find vegan friendly foods. Here in Australia Veganism is booming, no doubt aided by the quality of our Australian made food brands producing vegan friendly PAG E 70
goods, and the great news is that Australian farmers are getting on board to produce even more plant based alternatives. Australia’s strong farming industry has the potential to be a powerhouse for production of plant based products and a key exporter. The Australian market for meat alternatives is estimated reach 3 billion dollars by 2030. The economic discussion is also now in full swing as meat is now expensive and rising, the costs to raise and maintain livestock is giving farmers pause to think about the switch to plant based crops which are super low cost to run and maintain. 

SOME PEOPLE THINK BEING VEGAN IS DIFFICULT..... IS IT?? In the past being vegan was not just an overnight decision, vegans were people who were not just looking to eat healthier but they were passionate about animal welfare or land conservation, and for them the decision was easy. Many vegan curious people may not take the leap because they think it’s a difficult adjustment or you miss out on key nutrients, but the reality is that once you have get started

VEGAN KIDS Science tells us that a vegan diet is a very healthful approach to nourishing our kids. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusively breastfeeding for the first six months of a child's life as the best way of meeting all nutritional needs and boosting immunity and psychological wellbeing. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says that after six months of age solid foods should be added by slowly and carefully introducing new foods until a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes, then nuts and seeds are part of the diet. All parents naturally want to ensure their child obtains adequate nutrients to grow into a healthy adult. As long as your vegan child is receiving an adequate number of calories for their size, their protein needs should be being met. Complex carbohydrates from whole grains, beans and vegetables provide the perfect fuel source combined with fibre. Healthy fats can come from soy products, avocados and nuts (ground and butter forms in infancy). Vitamin D is best obtained from 15 to 20 minutes of sunlight on the skin each day, but you may want to consider supplementation depending on the amount of pigment in the child's skin, or where you live. Also ensure an adequate supply of B12, an important nutrient for the brain and growing nervous system. B12 should be obtained from a supplement or from fortified foods, as modern food and water no longer contain the bacteria which produce this vitamin. PA G E 74
Considering that about 95 per cent of Aussie kids are not consuming enough vegetables each day, starting them off with a healthful vegan diet will help them grow beautiful and strong, like the many world-class vegan athletes and the vegan mammals like elephants, gorillas and giraffes. Today you sent a few links for 3 mags, did I miss another email with the another indies or are they coming?
VEGAN
Also the idea of meat replacement products is not just to provide a product that looks like meat but it is supposed to include the same amount of protein as the same serving of meat so if you don’t like research there is plenty on the shelves at your supermarket. Also look for the Australian certification logo to be assured it’s 100% vegan.
Veganism is can also be helpful for people with skin, conditions, allergies to processed products, and even some chronic illness. Some vegans extend their choices to not include any animal clothing, footwear, cosmetics etc. This option is a little more difficult to pull off but it’s important for non vegans to understand why these choices are being made, again another reason why Vegan Month is so important.

Dogs need a balanced diet of meat, fruit and vegetables, with many dogs often lacking in vital vitamins and minerals. Berries contain high amount of these, plus fibre, which are essential for keeping healthy. Cranberries specifically contain potassium which can optimise healthy nerve and cognitive functions, among other bone, brain and cardiovascular benefits. The powerful antioxidants in blueberries fight free radicals which can cause cellular and molecular damage in dogs, while reducing the effects of brain aging – great for aging dogs! anxiety as they wait, and then wait, and wait some more for that big greeting. A pat and acknowledgment, then do something else, let them get used to you being back, then more, love when they are calm. These are pretty basic steps that will help most people help their pet’s transition to less time with you. It usually takes a week or two for your pet to acclimatise to drastic changes. If these do not work you can get calming medications for your pet or speak to a professional trainer.
CHICKEN, SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND PUMPKIN
Sweet potato is a rich source of minerals– including iron, calcium and selenium–which promote bone and blood health. Carrots contain antioxidants, boosting the immune system, while pumpkin is high in fibre to smooth the digestion process.

BEAUTY

MOOGOO IS A TRUSTED FAMILY BRAND THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES. Its no secret that if you have sensitive irritated skin you head straight to the Moogoo stand in chemists for soothing alternatives to body washes, face creams and shampoos. Mothers in particular are fans because of its gentle formulas on their child’s delicate skin. As far as pharmacy brands go, I’d say in my expert opinion, Moogoo is one of the best. When Moogoo released their latest advanced skincare line, I was a little excited. Again, they have delivered a quality product that performs as advertised on the packaging, which is not always common in pharmacy brands.

Seeing their use of actives usually reserved for professional and high-end skincare made me want to get my hands on it even more. The new release skincare is targeted at women who want results from their products. Ingredients like Hyaluronic acid, Lactic Acid and Bakuchiol are essential to skincare formulas to achieve desired results in the skin.
F E AT U R E
I can hear your first question, what is Bakuchiol? This is a relatively new ingredient that is the latest plant based alternative to Retinol (that got my attention) Moogoo’s is derived from the Psoralea Corylifolia plant (or babchi) and has long been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. But does it work? I can give this serum a resounding YES. In the week I swapped it out from my cosmeceutical Retinal my skin condition remained in top shape. I combined this serum with their Night Restoration Cream and I could definitely feel it working on my skin, while feeling very nourished and hydrated. The Night Restoration Cream again has amazing ingredients like Lactic Acid and Niacinamide included (ingredients usually only found in professional skincare) and it felt just as good as my usual active night creams. Moogoo have released a Creamy Hydrating Face Cleanser and Gentle Exfoliating Micro Powder, which I also tried. I’m a huge fan of natural Exfoliating Micro Powders and this one give a beautiful nonabrasive exfoliation (perfect for sensitive skin) that left my skin soft and smooth. If you’re a fan of chemist brands, Moogoo’s new skincare is a must try. Read the label to check if it is suitable to your skin (I found the products I tried were great for my dry skin, but may be too heavy if you have combination skin) or ask your friendly pharmacist.
