About NutritionBytes
Nutrition_Bytes 1.1
NutritionBytes was created for anyone and everyone who cares about food, our planet, and the relationship between nutrition, body, and mind. I will bring you important and up-to-date information on everything from Nutrition and Exercise to Agriculture and Health Care.
Approximately sixty years ago, we witnessed the "Green Revolution" - a profound change in the way that we as a society have been producing and consuming food. Now, we are living through the "Organic Revolution" - one that presents us every day with more options, more decisions, and above all, more confusion. It is important for each and every one of us to be aware of the changes that are taking place and to be able to make conscious decisions that affect our health, our families, and our future.
I hope you enjoy the articles and opinions that will be shared on this blog and most of all, I look forward to your comments, opinions and ideas.
