Radicals on the left, radicals on the right

My first blog posting, how exciting! Here's how I see this going...as often as possible I'd like to keep my readers informed on my most recent experiences within the world of health and wellness. I am passionate about health, and I believe there are so many components to overall well-being. Through my blog, I'd like to explore these different components. I am fortunate to be exposed to new things everyday as I make my way through vet school. I have a unique perspective, having training in environmental health, veterinary medicine, and public health. I expect to discuss issues such as organic vs. conventional food, animal welfare and handling issues in life and at slaughter, complimentary and alternative medicine, antibiotics and hormone use in food products, and environmental sustainability. I realize it's a bit diverse, but that is my mission--dive into those areas where all aspects of health intersect to find out what contributes both to health and disease.

As with any issue, there are always people on opposite extremes. I expect the issues I raise to be no different. There are radicals to the left and radicals to the right--I drive in the middle of the road, listening and taking in the thought processes of both groups. Afterall, the solution is often somewhere right in the middle. I am open to hearing your thoughtful responses because we only grow in the face of adversity. Thanks for reading!
