Eat REAL® is a 501c3 non-profit organization, founded in 2012, to transform our food environment and reverse the epidemic of diet-related disease. Recognizing the major impact that our food environment has on our food choices, as well as the growing influence of the food industry, the primary program of Eat REAL® has been designed to alter the food industry’s incentives to help increase the production and consumption of healthier, more sustainable food. The Responsible Epicurean and Agricultural Leadership (REAL) certification program, or REAL Certified® is a points-based nutrition and environmental sustainability best practices certification program, which has been used to certify over 400 restaurants and foodservice establishments across 32 states and Canada. We are a small and self-motivated team distributed between Washington, DC, Nashville, Chicago and San Francisco, supported by a nationwide network of registered dietitians. With fewer than ten people running a nationwide certification program, everyone here wears many hats.
