Yet another sensible informative and (responsible) thought provoking blog-thanks for that. I agree that balance and moderation in nutrition is the key for a healthy sustainable lifestyle (in addition to sensible exercising!) but unfortunately the media presence and food industry influences too many people into making potentially disastrous choices. ‘More is more’ and the wrong choices promoted to a time-poor audience results in the rise in major killers such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers and obesity-related issues including syndrome X etc…Keep up the blog!

Hi Sophie,
I think your blog is wonderful! I’m a registered dietitian in California working in the communications department for Bon Appetit Management Company, which is a food service company rooted in sustainable food sourcing. Many of the issues you describe (healthful eating for you and the planet) ring true with me on many levels. I have added your blog to Bon Appetit’s blogroll (www.bonappetit.typepad.com) so come visit us soon!
Cheers,
Katherine

I did a blog search this morning for “healthy wholegrain recipe” and discovered your yummy salad. I love wholewheat couscous – I’ll have to try this one out. I’m going to keep reading, I love what you’re all about. thanks.

Great post! I really wish more dietitians and nutritionists starting tying up what’s good for the planet as well as for our bodies, the way your blog does.
I definitely think it needs to start being addressed in our University classes. Very thought provoking! Thank you!

Well said Sophie – it’s always encouraging to hear more and more people come out with thoughts you’ve come around to yourself.

Hi Nicole – glad you are enjoying Mostly Eating and have found a few tips! Best of luck with your weight loss – it sounds like you have exactly the right approach
Elaine – I thought of you as I was writing this article! We’ve definitely got a similar take on what a healthy diet should encompass (now we just have to work on our a few of our colleagues!)
Thanks Johanna – yes, you’re right, wholism is trendy at the moment. It is an important concept but I think it makes it a little bit too easy for people to make sweeping statements that have little or no evidence to them
Agreed Lucy, Jeremy is on to something! I’ve wondered about this before myself – maybe we would have more success with an ecological rationale to promoting healthy food.
Thanks Natalie – I’m in London at the moment so will definitely try to make it over to you if I can fit it in
Ta Shauna and Sue!
Julie – thanks for dropping by and letting me know how you found me. Darren’s social media love-in was great fun – I found all kinds of new blogs

I’m a greenie who came across your blog via Darren Rowse’s profile-sharing experiment. I love that a nutritionist is looking into the eco-impacts of food, especially since what we eat is such a large part of our footprints. Also: that squash and chickpea salad looks tasty! Looking forward to reading more from you.
