Just 15 years ago olive oil was considered an "ethnic" product, and few food retailers offered sizable selections of fresh olives, hummus, olive oils, balsamic vinegars and sun-dried tomatoes.
That all changed in January 1993, when Oldways introduced the Mediterranean Diet and the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid.
Oldways is renewing and redoubling its ongoing educational efforts with a 15th Anniversary International Conference on the Mediterranean Diet.
Please join us November 16-18 in Cambridge, MA for real-life, take-home information including:
* How the Med Diet is easy and affordable, even with today’s spiraling food costs
* The latest scientific studies about the overwhelming positive health benefits of the Med Diet – from the scientists who did the research
* Cooking demos for real people:
- Four Mediterranean main meals for a family of four for $20!
- Mediterranean-izing American comfort classics
- Raising an omnivorous child
* Flavorful, exciting meals and breaks
* Great networking
* 15 CPE’s
All RD attendees will receive a free Mediterranean Diet Pyramid poster upon registration. To learn more, please visit www.oldwayspt.org or contact
