3. Who is Magnus Mumby?
Chef Magnus` career began at the age of
sixteen, preparing healthy meals for patients in
his parents’ pioneering allergy clinic. During this
time he acquired a vast amount of knowledge
about natural nutrition together with the healing
properties of food. His parents are still very
active in the areas of beneficial eating.
Magnus also has a Diploma in Nutrition from
Oxford College.
Chef Magnus` thirty year career as an award
winning Head Chef, combined with has culinary
world tours has resulted in his ability to create a
plethora of nutritious foods which look great and
taste truly delicious.
4. Why is healthy eating becoming such a
hot topic?
Processed, packaged foods have almost
completely taken over the diet of many
people.
However, processed foods are loaded with
additives such as sweeteners, salts, artificial
flavours, factory-created fats, colourings,
chemicals that alter texture, and
preservatives. But the story doesn’t end
there, its not just what’s been added, but
what’s been taken away.
Processed foods are often stripped of
nutrients designed by nature to protect your
heart & body, such as soluble fiber,
antioxidants, and “good” fats. This
combination is having a very detrimental
effect on the population.
5. Why are healthy food offerings
in schools so important?
Children deserve to eat nutritious foods
high in antioxidants, vitamins and
essential minerals for better general
health but also to increase their
concentration levels and ultimately their
school grades.
Numerous studies have shown that
eating nutritious foods does improve
cognitive ability, attention and
behaviour in children. Our “Eat Bright”
programme is committed to providing
optimal nutrition to achieve that goal.
6. How is Food Nation different?
Chef Magnus knows food, His products
are hand-made locally by him and his
team, not outsourced to a products
provider who mass produce for many
other food companies. He is in total
control of the production from the raw
beginnings to the finished items.
Magnus even makes his own relishes,
salad dressings, spices and pastes, so
he knows exactly what goes into each
and every product.
7. How can Food Nation offer such high
quality products at competitive prices?
Healthy food options do not have to cost
the earth.
By clever food combining, sourcing raw
ingredients and using natural, readily
available alternatives to processed
products, chef Magnus creates
delicious, nutritious products at
affordable prices.
8. Our Canteens
Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom. Our canteens are clean,
bright spaces with fun images of food as well as educational
information about seasonal food from farm to table.
