2013 marks the 20th Anniversary of the nonprofit Oldways' introduction of the Mediterranean Diet in the U.S. and the creation of the Med Diet Pyramid. May we ask you a few short questions about this traditional lifestyle which celebrates cooking and eating simple, wholesome, minimally processed foods as well as being active and enjoying delicious meals with friends and family? Answering will be quicker than taking a dip in the Mediterranean Sea.
