I love this concept! These are issues everyone should be discussing, and what better way to get people in the know on what is in their food than through these new forms of connection? I would definitely attend this one.

Great idea. I started a blog recently on social media for nutrition professionals, hoping to build a resource for those not familiar with its potential. Will pass this along for sure.
