Member and Reader Comments

"Healthy Dining Chicago helps keep me focused on my health and provides me with simple changes that I can make. I like the format of the newsletter and there’s some information that I don’t see elsewhere."
~ Jeanine

"Most of the free content out there seems to be either 'junk', nonsense, or a vehicle for advertisement. I think of Healthy Dining Chicago the same way I think of Utne. Totally worth the (very) small price per year."
~ Mary Ann E.

"I believe in only eating healthy whole foods and supporting local producers. Healthy Dining Chicago feels the same way."
~ Kathy C.

"Laura, I wanted to let you know how much your newsletters have helped me.  Your Guide (Eat Well for Less) is great, too. Prompted by an earlier issue, I threw out 30 fast-food delivery menus one  day!  It  was exhilarating!" 
~ Felicia K.

"I go thru the older copies of HDC and there's always something that I'm thinking about right now that you've written about and I'm so glad I have the benefit of your nutritional attention."  
~ Julie

"I enjoy your newsletter. What a great resource - chock full of wonderful info! I completely agree with you regarding your 'dream' of having measuring cups/spoons available in the bulk department [" My Ideal Grocery Store," February 2006]! I cooked at a retreat once and was sent out to a small health food store to get 18 cups of oat flour - only available in bulk. I can eyeball it pretty well, use my hand as a guide...but what a nuisance!"  
~ Adrienne

"Thanks for the newest HDC newsletter. It is full of great info as always, but I especially liked the material on where to eat, and the reference to the Cancer Project. What a great site!"  
~ Maria

"I am familiar with your publication and find it informative and of great value to those seeking better health through wholesome foods."
~ Rachelle Meade, RD, LDN
