“Set up by nutrition advocacy group Oldways and sister group to the Whole Grains Council, the LNC said its latest initiative is an effort to promote healthy eating habits based on its dietary pyramid for Latinos.

The guide, which will provide visual and easy-to-understand dietary guidelines, will also recommend certain product brands belonging to members of the coalition when these fit in with the diet plan.

Current supporters include consumer goods giant Unilever, Mexican food group Mission Foods and the US Potato Board. The LNC says it is also “talking seriously” to other food firms that manufacture healthy foods, which can be adapted to the traditional Latino diet.”
