Welcome to Eater's Digest!

Food is something everyone relates to, yet hardly anyone understands. We are bombarded daily by health and food related advertising, news stories, Oprah specials, cooking shows, and diet books. So why is it so difficult to decide what to eat?

What foods will prevent disease? Are carbs bad? Should I use Splenda or sugar? Should I splurge for organic milk? Is it true that dark chocolate and
red wine are good for us? Where does my food come from? I want to know what I'm putting in my body, so I am attempting to sift through the barrage of books and media stories to find out.

But I'm no nutritionist, just a student at the University of Florida who enjoys health, fitness, nutrition, cooking and FOOD. That's right, I said it. I enjoy health and food. I think that food brings communities together. Ask a person what their favorite meal is and you'll likely get a snapshot of their upbringing and personality!


In addition to food, I also enjoy politics and blog for a conservative woman's organization. This week I talked about how obesity is a result of cultural American ethics: Have It Your Way?


Get ready to chat about nutrition, recipes, gardening, groceries, farmer's markets and dinner parties!

Bon Appetit!
