What I hope to learn and what I think Community Nutrition is all about...

Dear Blog,

Hello my name is Alexis (Alex). This quarter I'm taking a class called Community Nutrition. I do not know much about community nutrition, what it involves, who it affects, or how it works. Here are some of my initial thoughts about what community nutrition is: I think that community nutrition is the combination of a community, or a group of people with similar values, beliefs, interests, and most times, similar income levels and geographic places of residence, and health in a way that serves the people in the community to better their lives, strengthen their values and promote good health through food education and nutrition.

What I hope to learn in this class is how to garden (since we're doing that) and also see how community nutrition impacts my life on a daily basis even when I don't realize it's there. Also, I'm looking forward to exploring this part of my major and maybe consider community nutrition as a career path.

Alex Z.
