introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is , and I like to eat. I'm joining this group

after reading the article in

the Washington Post (and trying to raise the response rate). I'm in

good health, 48, not

overweight, exercise regularly (yoga, running, and resistance

training), but eat out a lot

(although I don't drink), and probably could use a better diet. I

currently live and work in

Central Africa, so the quality (also variety) of food is an issue. I

have two young children

and want to be around, active and alert when they are older, so I am

very interested to

learn what I can from this group. I've read a few of the digests and

I think there's a lot to

learn. Although I'm not sure I could live on 1500 calories a day,

I'm interest in eating less,

but eating better.

I look forward to reading more postings from members of tihs group.
