About Us
It’s not easy to understand the best food choices you should make for your health each day.
We know that applying important nutrition lessons is even more difficult once you get to the supermarket
or restaurant. That’s why we developed the Fork Friendly program and the Key to Good Health.
Fork Friendly is the innovative program created by Registered Dietitian, Linda Kapusniak in conjunction with
the Brazos Valley Women’s Center along with area restaurants and grocery stores. This program is designed
to help you find the better-for-you menu items at your favorite restaurants and provide you with easy to follow tips that can make choosing healthy nutrient rich foods at the grocery store a cinch.
