About us

Did you know that Everyday Foods are really Superhero Foods® in disguise??

Our Superhero Foods nutrition education initiative especially for primary school aged children was developed by Foodbank WA .

Atomic Apple - Superhero Foods

These characters aim to engage students to improve their knowledge and skills to make healthy food and lifestyle choices.

This fresh approach to teaching students nutrition education uses our key messages and themes linked to the current guidelines promoted in the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.

For our nutrition resources more engaging and fun for kids, our characters are integrated through all our resources to promote the benefits of eating healthy everyday foods to kids.

Healthy Foods live in Healthy Town

Everyday foods that are inexpensive, nutritious and readily available can be Superhero Foods. The inspiration behind this initiative is that we don’t need to eat fancy, expensive foods to enjoy good health. A storyline has been developed to show that Everyday Foods which live in Healthy Town transform into their Superhero Foods alias to battle the body monsters Decay, Illness and Obesity and Zombie food characters which represent discretionary or extra foods.
