"Make Half Your Grains Whole" conference
April 20-22, 2009, The Westin Alexandria, Alexandria, Virginia
What would grocery aisles, restaurant menus, and pantry shelves look like if consumers really made half their grains whole, as recommended in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines? Whole grain momentum is strong, but our health depends on doing even more. This international conference will bring together scientists, manufacturers, chefs, and government policymakers for special interactive workshops designed to explore the changes needed at all levels of our food chain, to make this goal a reality.
