Hello,
Today we did not have class but instead we met with our groups to talk about the final project/paper. We divided up the work in a pretty efficient manner and got to work! I have the workbook currently but I'm going to send it off to Mo tomorrow whenever I see her in class. That's about it! I'm happy that the quarter is wrapping up! :)

Hello,
On Thursday we went out to Good Earth farm. It was really cool to see since I've only heard of it before. The man running the farm was very nice and knowledgeable about farming and food pantries. The farm has cows and sheep that are used for educational purposes and the cows produce milk for the house. The farm is run by donations and grants and fellowships and when the time comes, they just donate all of their produce to the local food pantries. The number of produce they are able to give out is increasing over the years. This was my favorite talk to far this quarter because it was "moving" and "inspirational"... :)

Hello,
Tuesday a dietician from WIC came to talk to us about the nutritional side of WIC. She talked about eligibility requirements for mothers and what steps they must go through to receive benefits from WIC. She said she mostly deal with paperwork and nutrition counseling for mothers who come in to see her.
I liked this topic because it's something that I've looked in to as an occupation when I graduate and become an RD.

On Thursday we went to the Eco House and the Compost Plant located off of Dairy Lane. This was really cool to see because I've heard so much about composting but had not seen how it is done until then. The Eco House seems like a cool place to live. I don't know if I would like it too much but I find peace of mind knowing that there are measures being taken on campus to raise awareness for safe and more efficient uses of energy. Reaching out to college level kids is a very good way to spread the awareness, in my opinion.

Hello,
Tuesday we went to the OSU Extension office where we learned about the history of the extension and the 4H division. Growing up, I knew others who participated in 4H but I never did. I just thought that it was for people who had farm animals but I quickly learned that there are several different projects that kids can take on that have nothing to do with farming. We did learn though, that 4H was initially started to keep farms alive by teaching the kids how to farm.
The extension office is includes 4 program areas: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Community Development, Family and Consumer Sciences (this program is dying), and 4H and Youth Development.

Hello,
On Thursday I was at the Research EXPO presenting a poster so I did not go to class. I do know that Heidi from WellWorks spoke to the class about her position over there. I volunteer at WellWorks with Francie so I've seen her around a few times but am still not familiar with all she does so I'm a little bummed that I missed it.

Hello,
Today in class, Janine Faber from Meijer came and spoke to us about the dietitian's role in a grocery store. There is such thing as the Meijer Healthy Living program to help create and communicate health solutions and product knowledge to customers. She takes part in community events, in-store events like cooking demos, TV and radio broadcasts, and publications like their Healthy Living Naturally Magazine. She ended her talk by telling us about NuVal.
This was the most intriguing speaker we've had so far because it's about a job that I didn't realize I could do as a dietitian. But now it makes sense that there would be a dietitian working with grocery stores. This seems like a fun job and such a critical one too because as a dietitian working at the grocery stores, we can sway shoppers toward more whole and healthy foods.
