Where the health can you eat around here? There are healthy dining options in towns and cities all over. Take the initiative to put together your own guide to the healthy local dining, including organic, seasonal, vegetarian and “green” eats near your home, school, home or workplace.

Download and customize this healthy dining guide for your school, worksite or community. Use the nutritional guidelines below to help determine which places to include – after all, what’s a healthy eating guide without the health part?

You can even sell ads in the guide to offset the cost of printing. Then place the guides in key locations in your office, factory,at your group or organization’s meeting locations, on your college campus, and share them with family and friends.

Encourage everyone to eat healthy when they eat out. Not only will they thank you — but you’ll leave behind a legacy of good health for future generations.
