NEARLY 37,000 Australians, including celebrity chef Pete Evans, have lost faith in one of the country’s most trusted health organisations. Their beef is with the Heart Foundation’s controversial Tick of approval. More than 2000 food products in Australia, including everything from Milo Chocolate Cereal to Gravox reduced-salt gravy, carry the Tick. The Heart Foundation has also deemed McCain’s Ham and Pineapple Pizza Singles, pasta sauce and margarine worthy of the healthy Tick. But now an online army has been mobilised to drastically overhaul the tick, circulating a petition calling on the Heart Foundation to update its nutrition advice or trash the program altogether. And some big names in the nutrition world, including Pete Evans, Sarah Wilson and David Gillespie, have thrown their weight behind the campaign. - bit.ly/1siiew4
