Today I am compelled to have more contact with people I know who care about food and health. Newspaper articles are a fantastic venue for conveying information on a specific topic, but the daily grind is really where all the action is. So I have decided to launch this site as a tool for us all to share information about life, food and fitness.

My goal for Thought for Food is to give you insight into the workings of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Posts will range from critical reviews of the latest nutrition research to the best recipes for seasonal dinner experiments. I encourage you each to share your thoughts and ask questions–tell us what does and doesn’t work for you–and we can all learn from it.

Ultimately I want to have more interaction with each and every one of you. In my experience, it is the people I have the most contact with who are the happiest and most successful at reaching their fitness goals.
