What IS this??

So, if you are randomly perusing the internet and come across this blog, you are probably very confused as to why there are random stories that have nearly nothing to do with weight. Well, let me clear this up for you...

I originally created this website as an assignment for my Online Journalism course. Our professor asked us to find an interest and run with it. Well, I decided to incorporate a topic that I have been interested in for quite some time...and coincidentally enough, am working on a feature story for my senior project - Weight and Food in America.

I am looking to this blog to not only extend the parameters of my research - through your thoughts and opinions as well as my search to provide relevant information to you, but to also create an awareness and potentially begin a re-structuring of the American psyche concerning food and weight.

I would like to incorporate various biological, social, and even international factors that affect our diets. And while, I am looking to approach this in a way that the media and doctors have yet to do, I will also take the traditional turn and include certain alternatives to lead a healthy lifestyle.
