		Positive Plate Award

For restaurants that make healthy eating easy and delicious, the Wichita Dietetic Association created the Positive Plate Award in 2005.

Americans gulped 48% of their food dollars in away-from-home eating in 2004. It makes sense to use that half of the food budget for healthy foods. Healthy eating and wellness can defend against the rising costs of illness.

Registered Dietitians (RD) are nutrition experts who help people eat well and stay healthy. An RD has education and expertise in nutritious eating choices.

Registered Dietitians in Wichita review restaurants based on the government guides for healthy eating from 2005, the Dietary Guidelines and MyPyramid.

Positive Plate award-winners are chosen by excelling at one or more recommendations: whole grains, fruits, veggies, lowfat dairy, lean protein, and correct portion sizes.
