Foodia is a website dedicated to helping people eat better. Users can discover new foods and learn about the nutritional value of their favorite foods. Healthy foods are not always the tastiest, so Foodia gives users a place to post reviews about healthy foods to determine which truly taste good. Users can also see what friends and family thought about different foods through the website’s rating system. Each food is provided with its own profile that includes a quick overview of nutritional facts that breaks down the important details the user needs. Foodia also has a green focus and provides additional facts about the sustainability of each food. Foodia assists users in selecting healthy foods that taste good and do not hurt the environment.

Foodia was founded in July of 2010 by Max Haines-Stiles, who is the current CEO. The Foodia team also includes Tommy Tam, Shila Soni and Michael Huang. The website was intended to give internet users a way to discover healthy foods that were also tasty and sustainable. The social networking feature built into Foodia also provides even more ways for its users to gain insight into the taste, nutritional value and eco-friendly production of various foods. Foodia is based out of San Francisco, California.

Foodia compiles a few different details about specific foods that can help internet users make better decisions about what they buy for their families. The website contains nutritional information, which is not totally unique. However what really makes Foodia stand out are the two additional features included. The first allows users to rate and review food and see what the people they know thought about a specific food. The second provides users more information on the food’s sustainability, something that is not often found with a website like Foodia.

Foodia has a very sleek, modern feel to it. The homepage features a lively green and yellow logo with narrow lettering and dainty leaves accenting one “o.” A menu helps users navigate along the left side of the page while the search tool graces the upper, right hand corner. New users can scroll down on the homepage to check out the newest Foodia reviews as well as a featured Foodian.

Visitors are not required to register for a Foodia account to search for their favorite foods. However to get the full benefit from the site, the user should create an account and log in. This will enable them to utilize the social networking features built into the site. To get started, the user can click the grey “Join for Free” link in the upper, right hand corner of the homepage. A blue Facebook login button is also available for those who prefer to login with their Facebook credentials. The short registration form asks the user for an email address and password. After completing the form and submitting the information, the user is taken to their account form which asks for a first and last name, display name, location, URL and bio. These items are optional.

Foodia is a helpful website for those who are concerned about nutrition and the environment. The website works somewhat like a social network, so having more people active in the Foodia community is definitely a good thing. Luckily the site is available to all users for free. There are no subscription fees or other payments required to join Foodia and access all the current website features.

Foodia is a great tool for anyone who is concerned about their health and the environment. The site is especially helpful for those who are also worried about taste or anyone who prepares meals for their family. Through Foodia, users can learn how to eat healthier and live better.
