Health Highways New Edition
Saturday, August 29th, 2009Note: Sometime ago I reviewed this travel book by the Goldbecks. Since they have a new edition, I thought I would post the email I was sent. This book is great not only for long trips, but short trips as well.
Healthy Dining Guide Declares
“It’s Not Only What You Eat, It’s Where You Eat”
New Edition of Healthy Highways Boasts 1000 New Listings
Now Featuring 2800 Locations
It is often said “you are what you eat,” but according to best-selling food writers Nikki & David Goldbeck, the authors of, Healthy Highways: The Travelers Guide to Healthy Eating (Ceres Press, $19.95, Second Ed., 2009), “you are also where you eat.”
Since you are where you eat, the Goldbecks want you to find the healthiest eateries. And that’s why they have produced two editions of this guide to healthy eateries which lists vegetarian, vegan and those who have shown a commitment to healthy eating.
Healthy Highways is fast becoming the essential guide to healthy eating while on the highways and byways of the USA. Many people keep their copy in the glove compartment next to the maps and GPS. The new 2009 600-page edition has 1,000 more listings than the first edition with only a one dollar price increase. In addition, there are free and exclusive updates on HealthyHighways.com for book’s owners.
Healthy Highways is arranged alphabetically by state and city for all 50 states. A unique feature is the state maps which the authors created to help travelers locate listings geographically. Naturally every entry in this succinct guide starts with the basics: address, phone number and hours of operation. Graphic symbols next to each entry indicate whether travelers will find a sit down meal or groceries to restock a cooler or picnic basket.
But the authors don’t stop there. In addition to the basic attributes is a bulleted list of what the establishment (restaurant or health food store) offers, such as: organic produce, vegetarian or vegan friendly, fresh juice, alcohol, seating and service style (wait staff or full service), take-out, and more. The Goldbecks add that, “not only does Healthy Highways help people eat better on the road, it also gives them an opportunity to see parts of the country that often whiz by.”
Among the listings are eateries ranging from drive-through to gourmet. There are several innovative health-conscious restaurant chains, beachside and open air venues, vegetarian street carts, all-vegetarian hospital and university cafeterias, ethnic restaurants that specialize in vegetarian or organic fare, clubs and pubs featuring vegetarian/natural food, and haute cuisine “tasting menus.” There are also locations where travelers can find prepackaged foods, natural beverages and healthy snacks.
Healthy Highways Always Up-to-Date
To keep Healthy Highways current, changes to listings are posted by users and the authors on HealthyHighways.com. Moreover, book owners will be able to download an exclusive supplement of new locations as they are discovered. The website also includes record of favorite Goldbeck travel and health resources, such as locations of swimming pools, national parks and pet friendly hotels.
