PeaceWorks For MidEast Peace

There is a health food store downtown where we live and they have the most wonderful foods and snacks. I recently purchased some fruit & nut bars and began reading the ingredients (since I am a diabetic, I have to be careful). I noticed they are distributed by a company called PeaceWorks. I checked out the website to see if I could order some of our favorites. And what I found was extraordinary:

PeaceWorks fosters coexistence through business. We unite people traditionally on the opposite sides of conflict via a shared goal. The result? An exciting range of all natural, speciality foods AND a shared vision of the future.

Basically, they are producing health foods that taste heavenly while helping bring some peace to certain areas of the world.

PeaceWorks is a not-only-for-profit company. We have proven that we can build and sustain a profitable company AND do a little good in the world.

Together with people striving to co-exist, we create and deliver unique and exciting specialty foods- only the freshest ingredients, always all-natural, always delicious.

PeaceWorks currently does business with Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, South Africans, Turks, Indonesians and Sri Lankans.

In fact, their pestos and tapenades are created through the cooperation of several different countries:

Meditalia TM is a line produced in Israel through mutual cooperation between Israelis and Arabs. They are produced in Israel with olives grown in Palestinian villages, the glass jars made in Egypt, and the sundried tomatoes come from Turkey.

So, if you are interested in snacks that taste good and are REALLY good for you, then head over to PeaceWorks and help them help others.
