Changing the Way People Eat

I recently came across the website of an organization that is promoting healthy eating in a wonderful, positive way: the Oldways organization at http://www.oldwayspt.org/. According to the site, they are “an internationally-respected non-profit, changing the way people eat through practical and positive programs grounded in science, traditions, and delicious foods and drinks.” What a great mission.

The site is full of good, helpful information. The Nutrition News section has some really interesting news tidbits and Oldways’ refreshingly opinionated commentary on them. A page called “101 Ways to Eat Well” offers excellent and realistic tips to nudge your diet in a healthier direction.

There is also a link to the Mediterranean Foods Alliance website, and their free downloadable consumer education resources include things like healthy $2 meal recipes and Mediterranean menu planning calendars.

It’s nice to see a group that is truly promoting healthy eating, offering great materials, and really making a difference. If you are looking for a good cause to support—501(c)3—this would be a great one.
