Along the way, I began to blog about things that were more important to me. Environmental effects of meat and dairy. Human rights and factory farming. Meat and infectious disease.
These posts took more time, and sadly generated little discussion. I still love talking about running and my weekend adventures, but compared to more important topics, these things seem "fluffy."
I want to pull in the reins and come back to the topics I care about more. This blog is meant to not only inspire people to live a healthy life, but to encourage discussion and critical thinking about food, exercise and more dilemmas we face every day.
Some upcoming posts I have brewing:
- Animal cruelty from the perspective of an animal researcher
- Why should we care about endangered species?
- The ethics of bananas
- The great vaccine debate
- Food additives that aren't bad for you
- Why having gay parents made me smarter
- The books and documentaries that changed my thoughts about America
I'm excited to go back to writing about causes I'm passionate about!

ReplyDeleteFirst, congrats on your 100th post! i like the direction you want to take your blog. as great as it is to blog about running, i think it's even more interesting to read about the ideas and activities that you are passionate about. i'm intrigued by the lineup you have and am looking forward to reading more! i'm especially interested in bananas... they're my go-to snack!
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested in learning more about the animal cruelty and the ethics of the food industry.
ReplyDeleteI like blogs that offer a variety of topics. While I'll probably comment on more running-related things, the "other" things help get to know you better. It's something I don't do enough of.
