How does food affect us?

Are you really what you eat? Possibly, but you're certainly affected by the food around you. Food affects our health, our environment, our economy, even our culture, sometimes in unexpected ways.

NHPR is developing a weeklong series about how food affects us, and you can help. Do you work in a food-related field? Do you grow food in a backyard garden, or shop at farmers markets? How does the food you buy and eat change the way you live or work? Share your experiences and insights below.
