10 great places to eat healthy on the road
USA Today wrote:Wavering in your resolve to eat better for the coming year? No worries, even if you prefer to eat out. Nikki and David Goldbeck, co-authors of Healthy Highways: The Traveler's Guide to Healthy Eating (Ceres Press, $18.95; healthyhighways.com), give 10 organic-restaurant recommendations to Ron Schoolmeester for USA TODAY.

Firefly, San Francisco
Restaurant Nora, Washington, D.C.

McFoster's Natural Kind Café, Omaha

This self-described vegetarian restaurant also serves free-range chicken and fish. "About 50% of the food is organic, and the produce is local whenever possible," says Nikki. "No refined flours or sugars." For the young (or young at heart), the menu offers an organic peanut butter "Gone Bananas!" sandwich, a toasted open-face cashew-butter and peanut-butter sandwich with slices of apple and banana, dotted with raisins and dates and drizzled with honey, as well as a grilled cheese sandwich made with organic cheddar or soy mozzarella on organic sunflower bread. 402-345-7477; mcfosters.com.

Blue Bird Bistro, Kansas City, Mo.
Afterglo, Miami Beach
The Red Avocado, Iowa City
White Dog Café, Philadelphia
Candle 79, New York
Cafe Brenda, Minneapolis
The Farmers Diner, Quechee, Vt.

I know. Very nice.

Although, there's so much more to McFosters than peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

That's what my girlfriend said.

By pure coincidence, we happened to be eating there on the day this article came out.
