Dear Dixie,
WtSV really has allowed me to engage my curiosity and approach all situations with more empathy. Thank you for helping make this experience possible! Katherine

Hi Moira! Thank you so much for your comment! I am glad you brought up that quote from my first post. Food justice is such a broad and complex topic, and after writing my last post and having some great […]

Hi Evan! I think you have a great “why”-it certainly inspired me! I notice how you highlight what you want to end as well as what you want to begin. “I want to stop kids, students, friends, from feeling worthless. […]

Hi Emily! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I searched for the book you mentioned, and found an excerpt of the introduction. After reading only a few sentences, I was hooked. Or, I should say, it […]

Thank you Anna (AKA Official Blog Reader)!! I’m glad you like my asparagus drawings, I spent a long time on them 🙂

Thank you so much for bringing this up! I had never thought about comparing the situation in Vermont with that of other countries. I will definitely look into food security and healthcare in China!

Hi Evan-It was so interesting to read about the interviews with your parents and how they were different from the interview with your friend! It is important to look at a situation from many angles, and it is […]

Hi Phaedra-This is a very interesting story that’s make for a great post. I think it’s awesome that you took a less than ideal situation and turned it into a cause you are going to fight for- and a topic to […]

Hi Moira- thank you for your comment! Recently, I have also been puzzled and angered by the amount of soda that is available at such a low cost. I was participating in a summer program in which we ate at a college […]
