Dear Friends,
With the vernal equinox upon us, we enter a time of new beginnings. This spring we bring our attention to new practices for health and personal maintenance. We seek new ways to feel our best every day and help others do the same.
Thoreau said, "Men do not fail commonly for want of knowledge, but for want of prudence to give wisdom the preference. What we need to know in any case is very simple."
The time for action to what we already know about being healthy is now. Read this months newsletter to find out how Beyond Green Partners is contributing to a culture of health in our country. Hopefully you can learn from what we are doing to make your communities healthier. And we want to hear from you! Let us know what you're doing to improve the health of the people you serve.
Happy spring!

5 Reasons to Invest in Healthy Institutional Food
Roasted cauliflower with vegan gravy? Skeptical, Christine, keeps a napkin close at hand just in case she needs to discretely expel the contents from her mouth. Christine doesn’t like cauliflower, but is participating in a taste test for the new healthy hospital cafeteria program where she works and feels she must give it a try. A lengthy internal pep talk ensues. Then a deep breath, a quick prayer, and a bite. Christine exclaims, “I can’t believe it. This is delicious!” As it turns out, Christine likes cauliflower.
The International Food Information Council Foundation
reports
that Americans want to eat healthy, but find it difficult to access nutritious foods. Institutional food that tastes good goes a long way in not only giving people access to healthy food, but also in helping make healthy choices the easy choice every time.
Why make the switch to a healthy food service program?
