NutriTours

Take a trip through the abundant aisles of Outpost. Navigate the nutritional labels, receive tips on preparing real foods, sample delightful items and take home lots of terrific information, including tasty recipes to help you on your road to good health. Best of all - it's really FUN! Why not organize a NutriTour for your family? Church group? Gluten-free support group or sorority?

Judy's Picks

"There are great resources available through the Internet that can help you navigate the world of food. Here are a few I think you will find useful. Also, be sure to visit our Savvy Shopper page for more useful information on being an informed consumer."

About ChooseMyPlate.gov

Forget climbing pyramids and sit down at the table. The Center for Nutrition Policy, (a branch of the USDA) has developed a new set of dietary guidelines, ChooseMyPlate.gov, contained within an easy to use program that educates people on eating healthfully, making wise dietary choices and understanding the importance of portion size. This new program is much more accessible in understanding one's own role in managing nutrition. 
 
"I think this new program is very good at explaining the benefits of eating a more balanced diet. It offers ideas of how to balance calories, increase consumption of fruits and vegetables and to reduce sodium."
 
 

Be Food Smart

We always say if you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't be eating it. Our current food system is under siege from an onslaught of chemicals, pesticides, colorings and other additives. Be Food Smart is a searchable database on those not-so-natural components found in the foods on the typical American grocery list.

 

"I love this! It's a great web-based resource for looking up the additives that are present in food. A must for everyone, and especially parents who are expecting or have small children."
