This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.
Ongoing discussions, FAQs & Resources (still under construction)

Obesity rates are climbing in all western countries. Hostile food environment is a good way to describe it. People are told to blame themselves, eat less exercise more, but our environments are not conducive to it. I read somewhere that our microbiomes have changed and that could be a contributor. I don’t think people 50 years ago had more will power, and plenty of people had sedentary jobs back then too. Who knows.
