what is this?

Hello! Welcome to red red peppers-
First an introduction. My name is Amelia (Amy) Baker. I'm the Red Red Pepper. I'm a Clinical Dietitian at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC. I'm registered and licenced and have experience in diet and lifestyle counselling.

I write this blog to spread knowledge and begin a dialogue about my love for food, the chemistry of digestion, and the intricacies of what makes up the American diet. I'm in love with cooking, so this blog will also contain recipes and menus from time to time. I will be writing from the perspective of a clinician, a single person living on a budget, an athlete, and an eco-friendly person. There are many many ways to examine nutrition, and I write (like I said) only to begin a dialogue. I encourage all who read to participate as they please because there's no one way to be healthy.

Enjoy!
