Abstract
Sustainable food futures involves people being healthy, but also being good citizens in terms of the food choices made. Teachers have a pivotal role in guiding young people towards healthier lifestyles. However, teachers may avoid this topic in the classroom because some of their students (and indeed teachers themselves) are overweight. This workshop will draw on teacher experiences to develop guidelines on how to address this important health issue in an objective and unpersonalised way.
