Here's a link to a 2010 report called Opportunities for Increasing Access to Healthy Foods in Washington. The report is based in part on interviews with 65 people representing all components of Washington's food system from production to waste management and highlights strategies that can be used to improve Washington's food system.

The Meeting Well guidebook is a great way for people to select healthy choices for a potluck or snack and it also includes tips physical activity. Many of the worksites I work with find this very useful. I thought it might be useful for some the projects you are working on too. Meeting Well Informaiton

It's amazing how much progress is being made in getting healthy foods out to King County residents.  Congrats to all of you who are doing so much to make nutritious food available to everyone!

Hi all,Thought I’d share this story about Birmingham’s planned food hub.  They’re all the rage!  Just learned at our regional food policy council meeting that Snohomish county is about to break ground on their own 60,000 square foot hub.  Can’t wait to check it out!

Hi all,

Here's an example of the marketing materials we're using for the Healthy Foods Here project.  If you have possible store leads in Auburn, Des Moines, or Federal Way, let us know!

Thanks,

Tammy

Nutrition data web sites

This seems to be one of the better nutrition sites web sites I've been to, called Self Nutrition Data . It breaks down food not only by nutritional content, but also fullness factor, glycemic load and inflamation factor with pretty, easy to understand graphics (well easy as far as nutritional labels are concerned).

 

But I did notice that there are LOTS of ads on the page, and they even seem to be paying for a spot on the main Google seach page.

 

Do folks have other, equally or more impressive sites they use? I've tried things like Fitday and MyFitnessPal but they don't have as robust of a report on each food.
