The "Beyond the Label" Project

The "Beyond the Label" project is an endeavor to engage students, parents and communities in interactive workshops training them to read "beyond the label" in an effort to truly understand how to read and analyze nutrition labels as well as how to identify healthy and unhealthy ingredients. This project forms the foundation of understanding upon which we build our other programs tailored to introducing the relationship between food choices and disease and the healing properties of foods as well as our program in food economics. 

Our goal is to empower families to make healthier food decisions prior to walking through a grocery store so that they feel in control and knowledgable about the ingredients they are using. The program is customizable for any age group as it is our belief that every member of the family can contribute to the good health of the family. Workshops are hands on and interactive and will often incorporate a raw or living food cooking demonstration depending on size.
