Balanced is a non-profit organization based in Topeka, Kansas, focused on public health and nutrition advocacy. It works to influence policies and practices within schools, hospitals, and other institutions to improve the healthfulness of their menus, aiming for systems-level change rather than individual education. The organization argues that transforming food environments requires collaboration with communities and institutions to increase the availability of fruits, vegetables, plant proteins, and whole grains while reducing the presence of disease-linked meat and egg products. Its target audience includes students, patients, and employees who often have limited meal options within fixed institutional settings, with the goal of aligning broader food systems with healthier options. Balanced positions itself within the public health and nutrition advocacy space, grounding its work in nutrition science and recommendations from healthcare organizations. A recent development noted is the launch of a Nutrition Mythbusters series in early 2021, reflecting its engagement in public-facing efforts to address diet-related misinformation.
