Healthy fats from fish, olive oil, and nuts meets lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and moderate amounts of wine in the Mediterranean diet popular in Greece and Italy.

Mediterranean cultures also tend to treat mealtime as an important social event, sitting down at the table with the whole family.
