I cannot recall which class that I took that required me to read Food Politics by Public Health and Professor of Sociology at New York University Marion Nestle, but I was delighted to do so. In her book, Marion explained how the food industry blinded by greed and disregard for the obesity epidemic faced by our country influences and compromises nutrition policy as well as our government's regulation of food safety. Terrified of the knowledge that I have gained from reading this book, I decides to follow her  Marion's website also title Food Politics to keep myself updated on food and nutrition policies that affect all of us.

In my opinion, the best way to deal with an issue is to prevent it from happening in the first place, but what is the joy of going through the pain sarcastically speaking seem to be our motto. All sarcasm apart, I wanted to share this particular website (U.S. Preventive Services) with my viewers because it provides valuable information to the public by an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in diseases prevention and evidence-based medicine.
