"Regarding food:
Each of us on earth must make choices and then, ultimately, take responsibility for the impact of those choices. It seems, therefore, to be the inherent duty of everyone to make as informed a choice as possible. Ope’s does not wish to impose our belief system on anyone. However, we do feel committed to understanding as much as possible about the reality of our diet, the footprint it makes on our environment, and to offer unique food products that are in the best interest of all living things."

Ope’s creates food with a distinct philosophical base. Simply, we are committed to improving the health of our planet and the health of all life that inhabits it.
Ope’s as a business and philosophy, was created by Dr. Richard A. Oppenlander. For the past 28 years, Dr. Oppenlander has studied nutrition, the implications of our dietary choices on the environment, and our food industry. From that research, evolved a broader understanding of the enormous impact our food choices have on many aspects of life. Also apparent is the need for healthier food options and accessibility than what is currently available through fast food outlets, academic institutions, hospitals, and conventional retail outlets. So, Ope’s was created offering a new mode of quick service restaurants, food options that we deserve, and a new program to increase the awareness of the effect our choices have on our planet.
Ope’s has developed and operated the world’s first franchiseable healthy fast food restaurants. Systems of operation, production protocols, and menus including numerous trademarked items were all established. In 2002, though, we closed the restaurants in order to devote our full time and attention to our food production business, Export Ope’s, LLC. Through Export Ope’s, we create our trademarked food items which are available now in universities, selected retail outlets, and corporations. We hope to have our products available everywhere possible. Accompanying these food items is an enlightenment system to elevate consumer awareness regarding food choices.

It is our hope to not only provide you with life enhancing food products, but also to stimulate you with a better understanding of the relationship of your food choices and the impact it has on the health of our planet. Thank you for choosing Ope’s.

Just talking with Dr. Rick Oppenlander for a spell can make you want to change your life.
The Portage dentist and nutrition activist is that convincing, in a passionate
yet startlingly reasonable sort of way. At first listen, his message seems revolutionary:
We must eliminate meat and all animal products from our diets both to protect our own health and to protect our world. That kind of change would be a huge leap for the average American, but if there’s anyone who can change all those hearts and minds — and palates — it just might be Rick Oppenlander.
