We eat.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nature.com\/oby\/index.html\">Many of us overeat<\/a>.  We struggle with diet and nutrition and weight and body image, fears of contaminated food, love affairs with foods we should (and shouldn&#8217;t) eat.  We worry about feeding people who are going hungry.  Increasingly, we think about how our eating habits <a href=\"http:\/\/localfoods.wordpress.com\/2008\/06\/25\/greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-agriculture\/\">affect a warming planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the North Country, food is especially relevant, because we&#8217;re a community of farmers and gardeners and roadside stand frequenters.  Food (dairy) is one of the biggest segments of our economy.<\/p>\n<p>One of my goals post-food workshop is to bring more discussion of food to the Inbox.  We&#8217;ll still be covering, exploring, and experimenting with ideas about local politics, of course.  But I hope to offer you a steady diet of what&#8217;s making news in the food world, here at home and far away.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love your feedback on this, positive, negative, or whatever (I know you commenters are not shy).  And, please, send me relevant links, news, or ideas that you&#8217;d like to see covered here.
