KIN's Nutrition Guidelines
KIN's Nutrition Guidelines are a comprehensive resource for our volunteers and the wider public. The information we present is rigorously supported by up-to-date, reputable publications.
​
KIN is dedicated to fostering a mindset of MODERATION and BALANCE, advocating for eating habits that benefit public health and the environment.
​
Recognizing the individualized nature of nutrition, KIN utilizes a flexible and adaptable approach. KIN does not promote restricting foods or any specific diet, such as vegetarian, vegan, paleo, low-carb, or low-fat. Instead, we emphasize celebrating the ADDITION of nutritious, colorful, and energizing foods that accommodate diverse local and individual situations, cultural contexts, and dietary preferences.
