Eat Real was founded in 2012 by health advocates wanting to improve and bring transparency to our food system. Since then, our nonprofit has brought the certification model to over 500 partners nationwide. Today, we are 100% focused on bringing Eat Real certification to our schools and raising awareness on the value of real food. Our Mission: We empower school districts to make food delicious, nourishing, and responsible through our evidence-based certification program. We provide education and support that inspires students, schools, and communities to value real food.
