• The definition and concept of healthy eating varies and changes, shaped by socio-cultural context (McDonald & Braun, 2022). In recent years, efforts have been made to define healthy and sustainable diets. A healthy diet should optimise health, defined broadly by the World Health Organization as complete physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease (Willett et al., 2019). A healthy diet emphasises the importance of having an appropriate calorie intake which consists of a variety of nutrient-dense foods and beve-rages including increasing intake of plant-based foods, consuming unsaturated rather than saturated or trans-fats and limiting the intake of animal source foods, refined grains, highly processed foods, added sugars, salt and foods of minimal nutritional value (Global Nutrition Report, 2020).
