Academic center for whole food-based research and public health nutrition. Created through a generous gift from two of the world's most prominent advocates for whole grains and healthy eating, Bob and Charlee Moore, the Moore Family Center helps individuals and communities live healthier through good nutrition.

Mission: The Moore Family Center is dedicated to helping individuals and communities live healthier through healthy foods and good nutrition. The Moore Family Center’s goal is to take a multidisciplinary approach to understand the role of all foods, including whole grains, in health promotion and disease prevention.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉Cheers to a better 2021!
Here's a little inspiration for your New Year!
You really, really, really have to read this. It’s easy to scroll by, but if you want some inspiration and encouragement while we wait for the pandemic to end, this is it. We found it, of all places, on a Chipolte takeout bag.
TWO-MINUTE ALCHEMY by Paulo Coelho
“A legend tells of a man who used to carry water every day to his village, using two large pitchers tied on either end of a piece of wood, which he placed across his shoulders.
One of the pitchers was older than the other and was full of small cracks; every time the man came back along the path to his house, half of the water was lost.
For two years, the man made the same journey. The younger pitcher was always very proud of the way it did its work and was sure that it was up to the task for which it had been created, while the other pitcher was mortally ashamed that it could carry out only half its task, even though it knew that the cracks were the result of long years of work.
So ashamed was the old pitcher that, one day, while the man was preparing to fill it up with water from the well, it decided to speak to him.
“I wish to apologize because, due to my age, you only manage to take home half the water you fill me with, and thus quench only half the thirst awaiting you in your house.”
The man smiled and said: “When we go back, be sure to take a careful look at the path.”
The pitcher did as the man asked and noticed many flowers and plants growing along one side of the path.
“Do you see how much more beautiful nature is on your side of the road?” the man remarked, I knew you had cracks, but I decided to take advantage of them. I sowed vegetables and flowers there, and you always watered them. I’ve picked dozens of roses to decorate my house, and my children have had lettuce, cabbage and onions to eat. If you were not the way you are, I could never have done this. We all, at some point, grow old and acquire other qualities, and these can always be turned to good advantage.”

Even in the best of times, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Oregon is considered a food desert
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, stay-at-home orders and restrictions on school, travel and businesses created uncertainty for tribal members’ access to fresh food.
In response, Oregon State University Extension in Warm Springs collaborated with the Warm Springs Community Action Team to launch Grow Where You Are, a project to help residents grow their own food at home through garden kits.

No one likes wasting food. It also wastes our time, money, effort and precious resources. Did you know that food in our landfills also releases methane, which can impact our environment too? Thankfully, there are strategies we can use as consumers to prevent food waste in our home. Check out the article from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. 🍌

More produce is grown nationally each year than is needed to serve the population. In fact, roughly 40 percent of all edible food produced in America goes uneaten. But by being more conscientious consumers, we can save money and fight hunger.
