Read what the experts have to say

In 1993, Oldways formulated the “Mediterranean Diet Pyramid,” a revolutionary challenge to the USDA’s sacrosanct “Food Guide Pyramid.” The new pyramid mustered impressive scientific data to suggest that foods eaten abundantly in Mediterranean cultures—whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, legumes, nuts and olive oil—contributed to a longer, healthier life.

— John Mariani, Wine Spectator

Over the past decade, Oldways has pushed the Mediterranean diet, along with such causes as a revised USDA food pyramid, traditional ways of making food, sustainable agriculture and olive oil as a healthy fat—all campaigns pursued relentlessly and quite successfully.

— Alison Arnett, Boston Globe

Only if you had lived in a closet for the last several years could you be unaware of the celebration of Mediterranean cuisine as a healthful, satisfying diet. Much of this awareness must be credited to Oldways.
