Party!

Hey everyone, if you'd like to sign up to bring something to our gathering, please do so in the comments (just so I'll know how much food to expect).

Resources for Finding Food Solutions

Here are some online resources you might find helpful in deciding how to define your problem and how to solve it:

• Yesterday's edition of the New York Times Magazine was devoted to living more earth-friendly, and there's an interesting article about how our eating habits could affect the planet.
• The World's Healthiest Foods: a handy site with cooking ideas and nutritional specs on foods we should all eat more of
• Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: the home page for Barbara Kingsolver's new book (which I also recommend!) about a year in which her family ate only what they grew or what they could buy locally
  
• My Pyramid: the USDA's online guide to figuring out what to eat
• PBS Parents: resources for getting kids to eat healthier

In terms of finding local ways to solve your problem, it might help to ask your classmates. If you have a question you think we might could answer, post it in the comments. In turn, if you see a question in the comments that you can answer, please post a reply.

Also, if you find a website that might be helpful for the class, send me the link and I'll add it to the list!
