Eatin’ Healthy proves that food can be delicious and good for you!

Some of the health recommendations we followed when preparing Eatin’ Healthy’s  menu:

• You should eat a variety of fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors, at least 5-a-day.
• Use lean meats and choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products.
• Include whole grain products in your diet to add fiber which keeps you full. 
• Choose foods naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol.  Keep your salt intake to about 1 tsp. a day (2400 mg). 
• Food is your body’s fuel.  This fuel should be loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and should enhance your health and well-being.
• A meal should be the correct portion size not super-sized.
• A healthy diet should include a balance of foods from all food groups.

Eatin’ Healthy

We want you to have all natural fresh baked bread and fresh crisp veggies for your sandwich.  We use only natural, whole, unprocessed ingredients because; the food you eat shouldn’t be developed in a laboratory.  Healthy eating is not a fad that will go away, it is a way of life.  We use a large amount of organic ingredients, due to their superior quality, taste, and nutritional value.  We replace the fat with flavor so you won’t even miss it.

 We use many environmentally friendly products like packaging free of chlorine, cleaners that are non-toxic and biodegradable, and clear plastic not made from petroleum but made from corn!  We wanted a company that was doing good things not only for the people it serves, but also for the planet.

According to the American Heart Association® healthy food habits can help you reduce 3 of the major risk factors for heart attack

We want to take the confusion out of eating healthy.  Eating healthy can be fun and delicious.  Eatin’ Healthy can be quick and convenient.

WHAT’S IN YOUR FOOD?

Conventional (chemical) farming:  in the 1940’s a movement started.  Farmers could increase yields by spraying their crops with pesticides that would get rid of insects.  These insects are now increasingly more resistant to these pesticides. Pesticides not only stay in the soil for decades, but they also travel into our water supplies and into the air we breathe.

Organic Farming: Highly regulated by the USDA.  Organic farming uses environmentally friendly methods of crop and livestock production.  Some of the rules an organic farmer or food producer must follow:

• No Synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides may be used
• No synthetic fertilizers, synthetic hormones, or antibiotics maybe used
• Prohibits use of sewage sludge as fertilizer
• Requires 100% organic feed for organic livestock
• No Genetically Modified Organisms

To reduce everyone’s toxic overload Eatin’ Healthy will use organic ingredients whenever possible.  We will also use locally grown produce that will be at the peak of freshness.
