I've owned a health food store for over ten years. I know that most of us rely on doctors and drugs to support our health. Many a customer comment begins with, "My doctor said...", and yet, whatever follows is often something I believe is dangerous dogma.
I think that our society overlooks the importance of dietary choices in preventing and treating illness. Doctors are often poorly informed about nutrition, and we're encouraged to think drug therapies are the answer to all our questions. Our children, especially poor children, are nourished badly by their school meals and by heavily-advertised snacks, and in many low-income neighborhoods, it's difficult or impossible to even purchase food that is not heavily processed and downright life-threatening to live on.
I want to win a DFA scholarship to attend Netroots Nation 2013, because I am hoping to network with other progressives interested in these issues. Below the fold, I'll share more of my current ideas. I'd appreciate your vote, so that I can come to NN13 and continue to learn and work for better health for all of us. (You can vote for unlimited candidates!)
