When I announced ''health and wellbeing'' as this issue's topic, I was surprised by the food-focus of the resulting articles. Quite foolish of me, really. If there's a single subject that dominates our DR culture, it's food-- the choices we make about what we eat and why we make them. Food is at the same time one of the most basic needs and one of the main areas in which people seek indulgence and entertainment. Some of us subsist on grains, beans, and garden veggies, but when it comes to treating ourselves, nothing'll do but double-fudge brownies eaten straight out of the pan. Food choice is personal, and it can be political. You can choose to eat organic produce to protect your liver or to protect your land, your kidneys or your countrymen, [place a wide range of more satisfying alliterative phrases here]. Vegan or omnivore, wildcrafter or dumpster-diver, everyone has some sort of an opinion about what they put in their gut. In this issue, you will find just a taste of the way DR folks relate to food. None of us are experts-- except within the boundaries of our own bodies-- and there is certainly no village-wide agreement as to what makes a healthy diet. In other words, take it all with a grain of salt (or low-sodium equivalent) and feel free to form your own impressions.
New intern Zack fixes plaster on the Timberframe
Bob Rouse explains why he eats mass amounts of millet in ''Food Choices V. Pharmaceuticals,'' while Jacque Funk speaks to women's reproductive health through her own experience with endometriosis. New resident and mother-of-three Jennifer Johnson gives an old adage a new spin in ''You are what (and where) you eat.'' Make sure you check out guest writer Justine's fabulous rodent-o-rama in the Nature Corner and the long-awaited Ask a Rabbit, as well as our shameless plug for DR's television stardom. I mean, thought-provoking mini-article. Ahem. As you enjoy your journey through gastronomy, join us in welcoming this year's interns, Joe, Julia and Zach Caring for ourselves* DR on TV* What and Where* Food Choices* Ask a Rabbit* Endometriosis* Nature Corner* Tasty Tidbit
