The foundation of a healthy society is not just hospitals—it’s what we eat every day. FIT proposes a system-wide shift toward recognizing nutrition as primary healthcare. From AI-guided meal planning to subsidies for real food, we will make eating well the most natural and accessible choice in Australia.
