- The Root Cause is a program offered by a traveling family dedicated to transforming children's health for the better in Australia. The founder of the program and mother of two, Belinda, held the crowds attention by demonstrating how easy it is to pack a healthy, real-food lunch box for kids in as little as five minutes a day.

Woohoo! #gwfm2016 pic.twitter.com/yBZRPTxuPT- With school lunches making up 40% of a child's food intake, Belinda urges that parents have to take stock of what they are actually putting into their children’s bodies. "The food that is going into our kids lunch boxes today is affecting their behaviour, causing hyperactivity, contributing to asthma and a whole load of other illnesses," she said.

- While flipping freshly made chicken and vegetable patties in the frypan and whipping up a batch of delicious hummus, Belinda says "It’s important to eat more real food, like what’s available at the farmers markets, each day and less processed food made in labs and factories.”

Her number one rule for getting children interested in healthy eating is to get them involved and they are more likely to eat it. "Educate them in a fun and interactive way about why healthy food is so good for them," she encourages.
