The time has come for all Americans to eat REAL food. Food Day will be this October 24th and in years to come.
Food Day seeks to bring together all Americans to push for healthy, affordable food produced in a sustainable, humane way. People around the country will be creating thousands of events in homes, schools, churches, farmers markets, city halls, and state capitals.
Food Day will be people-powered and does not accept funding from government or corporations— The most important ingredient in Food Day is you—you are invited to organize an event and help make Food Day a success.
A Food Day event could be as simple as organizing a cooking class or a vegetable-identification contest in your child's elementary school—or a healthy pot-luck dinner with friends.
Food Day can improve health, begin to solve food problems, and celebrate eating real food in your community but It is literally up to you.
Find an event in your hometown. Or create your own event — no event is too small if it brings awareness of real food to our soceity. Help build a "real food" movement of Americans who want healthy, affordable, and delicious food produced in a sustainable and humane way.

A collection of recipes by prominent chef's and cookbook authors.
Why Eat Real?
Real food tastes great. Meals built around vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are delicious and satisfying. But far too many Americans are eating diets composed of salty, overly processed packaged foods clad in cardboard and plastic; high-calorie sugary drinks that pack on pounds and rot teeth, but have no nutritional benefit; and fast-food meals made of white bread, fatty grain-fed factory-farmed meat, French fries, and more soda still. What we eat should be bolstering our health, but it's actually contributing to several hundred thousand premature deaths from heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancer each year. Our society needs to be re-educated on what real food is!
