ABOUT THE BOOK
A unique guide for anyone who wants to eat healthfully, particularly while traveling. No need to confined to super size, calorie laden, high-fat meals. Now there is help: "Healthy Highways." With this innovative guide, travelers are no longer limited to "gas and go" road stops, but instead can make informed choices about where to find a healthy snack, meal or cooler provisions. Over 1,900 natural food stores, plus vegetarian and health-conscious restaurants throughout the USA. Every listing includes address, phone number and hours plus a checklist of features, including dining style, salad bars, fresh juice, wheelchair access, vegetarian/vegan friendly, organic outlook and alcohol availability. MOST IMPORTANT -- each listing is keyed to state maps, along with local driving directions.
The companion to "Fast Food Nation."
Other Features * HH Tripster comments: Remarks about listings from a growing national network of "agents." * Eat It or Not: Fascinating food facts to educate and occupy travelers. * Resources: Quirky roadside attractions, entertainment tips and travelers' aids. Edited by best-selling food writers Nikki & David Goldbeck. (Publishers of the Tofu Tollbooth.)
"This book is perfect for roadtrips-- driving along, trying to plan where to stop for lunch in an unfamiliar part of the country. I'd love to see more options in the places that don't have anything (big stretches of some states!) even if they aren't quite as healthy as the ones in places with more options. We found a few problems with directions, but so far have been able to find every restaurant we looked for, even if we had to do some little detours from the given directions. Their website invites you to submit ideas for restaurants or corrections, but so far the items we submitted haven't been acted upon (6 months later)."

"This book provides some much needed information for those of us who avoid fast food chains and other unhealthy eating choices while traveling. Brief notes about products and services each establishment provides are especially helpful.
The only minor disappointment I have is that the book does not include ALL options available in a city or area. I am familiar with some of the locations/cities and know that other establishments (even those that have existed for a number of years) have not been included in the book. I found that confusing, since those excluded compared favorably or were better than some of the inclusions. "

"This book is very helpful in planning our move across the country. With three hungry children, you can't be driving around looking for a place that serves vegetarian meals. "

"A few summers ago I drove from Los Angeles to Jacksonhole, WY & I was on a very strict diet to only eat organic fruits & vegetables. I discovered that that was nearly impossible to do in this country. I was shocked!! The junk food mentallity has taken over most of this country. Last summer while I was in Minneapolis at Ecopolitan Restaurant I was shown this book. Since that miraculous day, I now determine how I travel by which is the best route to go depending on what Healthy Highways recommends. I drive all over the country to various art shows & was going online to see where the best vegetarian places are. Because of this book I don't need to & I've made it my quest to try & go to as many places in this book as possible. It also makes traveling so much more fun & I feel better physically because I am eating better. I have driven throughtout the midwest, southwest, northwest, south & this year I hope to hit the east coast. Buy this book, it will literally save your life but be sure to telephone ahead to make sure the information is correct as some of the places have changed & it is better to be sure rather than driving all the way there only to discover it has closed or moved.
