Food for thought

Cooking at home has given Beii Tan more control over her family’s diet. She also saves on expenses by making clothes for her two-year-old son, Jasper.

More and more families are choosing to prepare their own meals as a healthier and cost-saving alternative to eating out.

BEII Tan never used to pay much attention to the food that her family was eating. “But I did notice that my son would fall sick quick easily throughout the year, and I always wondered why.” After taking up a part-time course on diet and nutrition, Tan realised that her son’s everyday food intake had been affecting his wellbeing.
