And we're back! A returning announcement and new mission statement

It's been a long time but I have finally taken this blog off hiatus and am returning with regular updates. A small number of you may remember Sugar Rush as a class project I started more than a year ago. At the time it was meant to examine state and city restrictions on sugary foods and drinks as a way to effectively combat the country's obesity epidemic. While this is still an interesting topic that I plan to keep exploring, the blog's scope is going to be expanding to cover a wider variety of wellness topics as well though still keeping a nutritional/lifestyle bent. People often think that living healthy means giving up just about everything worth living for - chocolate, your favorite fast food joint, alcohol, etc. - or switching to expensive organic foods and products or a drastic lifestyle change you just don't have time for right now. Sugar Rush will hopefully make this all a little less intimidating and all encompassing. Highlighting new ideas, as well as debunking some outdated ones, on how to stay healthy without becoming a neurotic.
