Oldways

How did people decide what to eat before the advent of medical science? Well, they used common sense. Oldways uses research on how people used to eat and makes findings known for our benefit. The first places to look are what they call the Traditional Food Pyramids. These resemble the food pyramid we all know (with breads on the bottom and sugars on top), but instead emphasize traditional Mediterranean, Asian, Latin American, and vegetarian diets and what we can learn from them. Oldways also covers other topics, like sustainability, managing sweetness, and the health benefits of coffee (which is actually good for you in moderate amounts). There is also an Oldways recipe book and links to all kinds of food- and health-related news. Come see what you can learn from the old methods of healthy cooking.
