Site's Focus

This blog has been created with the intention of exploring the role that politics has on the media coverage of nutrition. 

We'll do so by focusing on the prevalence of trans fats in foods sold in the United States, and more specifically in foods available at American University.  We'll explore where trans fats are and are not available on campus and why.

Through our focus on American University the blog hopes to understand the role trans fats play in the diet of the average college student and how this role might be changing.
