A Path to Great Food: Oldways Table
There are cook books. There are history books. There are books on the culture of food.
Start Looking for the Med Mark
The folks that brought you the Whole Grain food stamp have created the Med Mark to help shoppers quickly identify healthy Mediterranean Diet food, drinks, and products.
Oldways, a food think tank, has been promoting the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet for over a decade, has created a stamp to help us choose healthy foods that meet their standards. While the diet is not a formal lose weight "diet", like the Atkins or the Pritikin Diet, it is more of a food philosophy and a food culture.
Mediterranean Diet Food Stamp: Coming Soon
Recently I told you all about the Whole Grain Stamp for foods that are made with whole grains. That stamp was so successful that the folks that brought you that stamp, Oldways Food Issues Think Tank, are creating a Mediterranean Diet Food Stamp. The plan is to introduce the stamp in about 6 weeks.
What's the Deal With: The Mediterranean Diet
Folks are often out pimping their new diet books, trying to make a buck with a fad diet based on the bottom line rather than decreasing your waist size or helping you get healthy. Well, have you heard of the Mediterranean Diet?
Introduced in 1993 by the "nutrition meets gastronomy" group Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health, and the World Health Organization, the Med Diet is a not-for-profit diet.
Whole Grain Stamps
Have you seen this little stamp yet? There are 2 versions and they are helping consumers identify foods made with whole grains. It's recommended that everyone aims for at least 48g of whole grains each day.

In fact, more and more studies indicate that it is better to eat your vitamins than to take supplements. With this in mind I urge you to try new fruits and veggies and to experiment with familiar healthy foods you avoid.
