Judi Adams, MS RD, President, Wheat Foods Council

3700. 1300. 1200. 43,800.
Looks like just a bunch of numbers, right? 
Not! Let me explain.

There are 3,700 websites about bread.
There are some 1,300 blogs about nutrition.
1,200 represents the number of websites about wheat and wheat foods.
43,800 is the number of entries you get when you do a Google search for wheat foods.

But which ones are relevant? Which are current or credible?
You need a place to go when you really want to know.

Welcome to the Wheat Foods Council Network – the place where health and nutrition professionals, educators, culinarians, the media, consumers, and anyone else with an interest in wheat foods, can go for credible, science-based health and nutrition information.

We built this network to help people communicate with one another. The WFC Network offers the latest news, videos, podcasts, webinars, a regular e-letter, blogs, Tweets and other social media options to make it easier than ever to stay up-to-speed and in touch with all the nutrition communities you care about.

We built a network tailored to your own needs and interests. We’ve constructed it around the concept of “Channels,” specific nutrition practice areas where you can find focused content: Food & Culinary, Nutrition Educators, Supermarket & Retail, School Nutrition, Weight Management, and Home Baking. You’ll find the tools and talk you need to counsel a client – or just get up-to-speed on wheat nutrition. Rounding out our lineup is the “Wheat’s Up” channel, where we look at what’s in “season” whether it’s a new government or industry initiative, recipes, activity tips, or impactful meetings; and “In-Focus” where we delve more deeply into an issue impacting the nutrition community.

Finally, we built this network to help grow and maintain relationships with people like you. The WFC Network offers many opportunities for us to interact and work together. We’ll regularly use the website to seek your opinion – from your favorite wheat food to the best ways to communicate health messages to consumers. We’re actively seeking network “correspondents” to report throughout the year on wheat and grains-related nutrition issues and events. We’ll also be featuring a number of guest columnists in this spot, as well as guest bloggers on our blog, so be sure to check in regularly.
