Food & Politics

I started this blog with the intention that it would become more than just another healthy living blog. My biggest passion is writing about and discussing the current state of our nation’s health. It is a startling and scary fact that nearly one-third of all Americans are considered obese. It is impossible to talk about food and obesity prevention without mentioning the government’s role on what ends up in grocery stores and on our plates.
