In collaboration with the Regency TP PKK, this local food creation competition carries the categories of dishes for pregnant women and breakfast for students.
Heaptalk, Jakarta — The East Kutai Food Security Department in collaboration with the Regional Mobilization Team of Family Welfare Empowerment (TP PKK) organized a competition to create local food menus according to the principles of diverse, nutritious, balanced, and safe (B2SA) (07/11). This activity adopted the theme “Prevent stunting with B2SA local food consumption patterns”.
Taking place in the Akasia Room, Multipurpose Building, Bukit Pelangi Sangatta Area, this competition was participated by 18 representatives from all districts in East Kutai. Participants were given the opportunity to present the best dishes in the category of menus for pregnant women and breakfasts for students.
Attending the activity, Regent Ardiansyah Sulaiman said that this local food creation competition showed the Regency Government’s sincerity in anticipating and resolving the stunting issue in East Kutai.
“In this program, there are many food sources that comply with B2SA around us. This activity is a means to campaign for healthy, safe, nutritious, nutritious, and balanced eating,” said Ardiansyah.
Promoting a diverse, nutritious, balanced, and safe diet
In addition, Ardiansyah invited all elements of society to campaign for the B2SA program. According to him, there are many foodstuffs around that can be consumed to meet the nutritional, protein and carbohydrate needs that the body needs.
He added, “Don’t let our bodies be filled with foods that are nutritionally unbalanced. The food contested today can be an example of a menu that can be consumed by families at home.”
Aligned with Ardiansyah, the leader of the Regency Mobilization Team of Family Welfare Empowerment Siti Robiah Sulaiman emphasized that this activity is not only ceremonial but also requires follow-up, one of which is by continuously socializing the whole community about the importance of consuming food in accordance with B2SA principles.
“Why hold a competition but we don’t implement it in our daily lives? I hope that with this diversity of food ingredients, children and families will start to like processed products according to the B2SA principle,” Siti concluded.
