Why I Participate

health is the greatest wealth. Everyone deserves the right to good health. Think about the types of food we all ate just a few years ago. I know in my childhood, the lunchtime staples were (way too symmetrical and perfect looking) lunchables, neon colored snacks, and too many bar shaped "foods." The mainstream incorporation of processed foods is a fairly recent development in the American diet (roughly mid 90's), when convenience was the only important thing when it came to eating. Just look around today and you'll notice the rising incidence rates of health problems such as diabetes, food allergies, attention deficit disorders, birth defects in newborns, etc. Access to quality food and health education is crucial for maintaining a happy balance of body/mind. I truly believe that working with food as a key component to addressing some of the larger problems in our society can bring about significant change. I'm going to try my best to contribute to the cause so we can free ourselves from money hungry evil-doers who could care less about the well-being of their consumers. (I'm looking at you Monsanto)

About Me

Logistics: just graduated, living in Santa Monica, applying to law school. I'm obsessed with life. I smile a lot. I laugh to myself a lot too, for no particular reason. No one needs a reason to smile and laugh! There are so many good things in the world that can be appreciated. To be able to love and be loved is such a beautiful thing to have. Lately, I've been exploring the surprisingly creative world of veggie/vegan/raw cuisine in LA. The one deplorable thing about it is having to drive and park - gross.
