The growing number of travelers wishing to avoid supersize, high-calorie, high-fat roadside meals will want a copy of Healthy Highways: The Travelers' Guide to Healthy Eating (Ceres Press, $18.95) in their glove compartment, suitcase or backpack.
With this useful travel guide from food gurus Nikki & David Goldbeck, travelers are not limited to roadside reststops and fast food outlets, but can instead make informed choices about where to eat, restock their coolers or pick up a healthy snack. The authors say that travelers can choose between locations that are close by or those that may be more of a detour or destination.
Healthy Highways features more than 1,900 health-oriented eateries and natural food stores in all 50 states. What makes Healthy Highways especially handy is that every listing is keyed to state maps and also includes local directions from the nearest highway or main road. Thus travelers can anticipate upcoming locations and plan their stops without concern for getting lost.
Each Healthy Highways entry includes the address, phone number and hours of operation. In addition, there is a checklist of other features, including dining style (takeout, self serve, wait staff), salad bars, fresh juice, smoke-free environment, wheelchair access, vegetarian/vegan friendly, organic outlook and alcohol availability. At the least, travelers will find prepackaged wholefoods, natural beverages and healthy snacks at all venues.
Eateries range from drive-through to gourmet. Among the choices are several innovative health-conscious restaurant chains, beachside and open air venues, vegetarian street carts, all-vegetarian hospital and university cafeterias, ethnic restaurants that specialize in vegetarian or organic fare, clubs and pubs featuring vegetarian/natural food, a vegetarian wine bar and haute cuisine "tasting menus." Many eateries have comments by a growing network of "HH Tripsters" - volunteers who add descriptive personal content to the listing.
Praise for the Authors:
""I know the Goldbecks, and I can tell you two important things about them: They do their homework and they practice what they preach."
- Jane Brody, The New York Times
The Goldbecks, avid travelers in addition to best-selling food writers, believe that "not only does Healthy Highways help people eat better on the road, it also give travelers an opportunity to see parts of the country that often whiz by."
HealthyHighways.com Creates Community

They can share their experiences in "My Healthy Highways." The website, which is found at www.HealthyHighways.com, also includes links to numerous travelers' resources.
