Welcome to my blog

I've been thinking about doing a blog for a few months now, and decided today is the day! One reason I started today is because I would like to have a little practice before my trip to New Zealand and Australia in 3 weeks.

I choose this title because I'd like to share the things that make my life unique and open some eyes to the problems with our current food system. I hope to post information about my travels (which will pretty much always include my husband Colin), and information about food and nutrition. There are many dietitians like myself out there, but not all focus on hunger, food safety, and food sustainability. This last topic has become a recent passion of mine. While I am not a vegetarian at present, learning about agribusiness in the U.S. has made me change my eating habits. I try to eat sustainable meat and local foods whenever possible.
