The Carbon Offset Company is proud to announce that Midwest Meals is committed to planting a tree for every online order.
“When I started Midwest Meals in 2016, having a positive impact on the world was at the forefront of my mind. Not only did we set out to help fight the obesity epidemic, but we also wanted to reduce our food waste. Any meal that doesn’t sell in our stores gets donated to a nonprofit and distributed to families in need. Partnering with the Carbon Offset Company was a no brainer – it was an extension of those initial values. Planting a tree with every online order helps pair our values with our customers!” – Dan Beck, CEO of Midwest Meals
“We are excited to partner with Midwest Meals to plant a tree for every online order placed. They are great examples of leadership and agents of change that strive to create a better world. It’s going to be amazing to see what this partnership has in store in the fight against climate change!” – Matthew Kallstrom, CEO of The Carbon Offset Company
About Midwest Meals We are health and fitness enthusiasts trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, just like YOU. We were frustrated with fad diets and gimmick supplements and wanted an option that just made sense. We don’t believe in secret foods that magically make you look like a model. Instead, we believe in HAVING GOALS, CONSISTENCY, and HARD WORK! We advocate taking a balanced approach to your diet so that you can sustain your progress long term. All of our customer service and storefront team are all certified from NASM’s Fitness Nutrition Specialist program so we can provide proper advice and education to you. One of the MOST important things to know about Midwest Meals is our WHY. More important than what we do is why we do it. This is what drives all of our decisions and how we operate. This why can be boiled down to a simple statement: We exist to fight obesity. The obesity rates in the US is staggering and we exist to help you develop a healthy long term relationship with food that allows you to control your body composition and live a healthy life. Our mission is simple: to provide you with no-nonsense, healthy meals that are affordable. We are on your team. We will never sell you on fads or gimmicks that aren’t based on real science.
We believe in responsible supply management and reducing food waste. We do everything in our power to ensure the minimal amount of food waste. We use a “just in time” system to ensure we don’t have food going bad from week to week. Fundamentally, we want to eradicate obesity in the US. With fad diets promoting a quick-fix, our psychological relationship with food has been messed up for some time. We want to help re-create a healthy relationship with food that encourages flexibility and longevity. We donate any leftover meals from our storefronts to low-income families in our community.
