  Disclosure Statement

  The writing on my website is not the result of money or an exchange of goods. As a small part of my work as a food and nutrition writer, I have accepted particular writing and communication projects in which I may write specific content in relationship to a food company or organization. On these occasions, I ensure that my assigned writing project is very clearly defined and that it does not affect my coverage of food and nutrition in other areas. For example, I may accept a project to write a white paper on a particular food or nutrient that is limited in scope to that particular project. Or I may provide consulting services to an organization to research and summarize the nutritional benefits of a particular food or nutrient. As a respected journalist, I do not let these assignments interfere in my unbiased coverage of food and nutrition. I disclose all relationships with food companies and organizations on this website. Currently, I am offering my services as a nutrition and communications expert to The Tomato Products Wellness Council and to Daisy Cottage Cheese.
