Poll: Who Makes the Best Healthy Food in Berkeley?

Fortunately for the health conscious, Berkeley is home to a health-food movement that transcends droopy lettuce and flavorless imitation meat. 

Here, the terms "vegan," "vegetarian" and "organic" are a staple of the typical Berkeley food menu. But none of these terms necessarily guarantee that a meal is "healthy" — balanced in its food groups, packed with vitamins and nutrients instead of calories and fat, and full of fresh fruits and vegetables. 

So, where in Berkeley can you get a real "healthy" meal?

There are many interpretations of what a healthy, balanced meal should be. The government recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture can be found at choosemyplate.gov.
