Food is Medicine! Good Nutrition is a daily habit and an essential factor in reaching optimal health
Marc Bittman is a great food writer for the New York Times. He increasingly emphasizes a plant-based diet with modest amounts of meat:
NutritionData.com - Highly-readable charts and graphs on the nutritional content of individual foods.
Cooking Light and Eating Well magazines
Linus Pauling Institute - named after the Nobel Prize-winning advocate of high Vitamin C intake studies the role of nutrition in overall health. Great information about different foods.
The organization Oldways offers a refreshing, wholesome perspective on international diet. Along with the Mediterranean model, the group has compiled Asian and Latino food pyramids. "Oldways" is a fitting name for group with a strong committment to long-held dietary habits. Interesting origins: Oldways traces its start back to a spectacular native Chinese meal served nearly 25 years ago.
The old Food Pyramid is out! The Food Plate is in, and with it a new emphasis on fruits and vegetables, whole grains and moderate amounts of meat. Sounds a lot like the Mediterranean Diet.
