Natural Restaurants: 10 Places To Find Healthy, Organic Food

Organic dining has become one of the most popular widely discussed aspects of what can today be considered more broadly as the health food movement. Having first gained momentum during the hippie-infused back-to-the-earth activism prevalent in the 60's and 70's, the demand for organic food--and fresh vegetables in particular--is today more widely acknowledged by both doctors and naturalists for its role in promoting healthy, chemical free lifestyles. Scientific research has revealed the role fresh fruits and vegetables play in disease prevention, particularly with regard to heart disease and cancer. So, in the spirit of healthy dining, HuffPost living presents 10 restaurants throughout the United States that offer organic and nutritious meals that might help you live a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. However, we understand that we're only scratching the surface here. That's why we want you to let us us know what your favorite organic restaurants are and why by clicking on the blue PARTICIPATE button below. Bon Appétit!
