Goodies News, free Ezine on the art of making healthy food taste good, received the prestigious Topica Top 20 Award.

The award presented to Goodies News for excellence in EZine content is from the largest growing list server: Topica. Publisher and writer Linda Randall, recognized the need for a resource that was easily accessible to everyone when a terminal illness threatened her life, and doctors held few answers. “I had to gain the feeling of doing something positive for my body… for me that was changing my diet. Yet, I knew no matter how healthy something was, I wasn’t going to eat it for long if it didn’t taste good,” said Linda Randall.

Through the creation of Goodies News, Ms. Randall found that, “People want to eat better. They just don’t want to sacrifice taste. We are so conditioned to thinking healthy food has to taste like the box. Yet I found that with the right mix of recipes and information any one can have a healthy gourmet feast or quick fix meal.”

Goodies News is divided into five major categories:

— Nutritional Information — What Foods Are Healthy and Why
— Ways to Make Healthier Foods Less Scary and Taste Better
— Recipes to Make Healthy, Tasty
— Cook Book Pick
— Web Site Pick

Goodies News articles have an informative and entertaining twist with stories like: “Tofu Phobia,” “Eat chocolate and live longer” and “Can Food Cure Depression?”. Most articles are written by Ms. Randall, with guest columns by cooks, dieters, and other healthy food fans, “but we’re inviting new and experienced authors to submit articles for consideration,” said Linda Randall.
