This might seem off topic for me, since I would, never, ever ever claim to be any sort of chef. Particularly because I tend to be a persnickety foodie and have a discerning palate that annoyed my mother throughout my childhood. (What do you do when your 10 year old refuses to eat cold cuts? Oh, mom, I’m so sorry, thank you for putting up with me…)
Most seriously, I’ve been interested in nutrition since about 16 and remember going to the Whole Foods in college thinking: I wish I could buy stock in this; this is the future. Whole Foods wasn’t a public company then, nor did I have any money, but still, the interest had been birthed. Oh, if only!
