Dietician 'heads food revolution'
Thursday 29th October 2009
A Birmingham dietician job worker has made public his personal mission to revolutionise the way people eat.
Tom Baker, a part-time NHS nutritionist, wants to start a Keep it Local campaign, the Birmingham Mail reported, to encourage people to look to their own neighbourhoods for fresh produce, rather than going to the supermarket.
Mr Baker commented: "Bristol, Manchester and London have burgeoning food movements, but we are lagging behind. There are lots of individuals doing great things, but no-one is coordinating it."
There are plenty of opportunities and "food heroes" in the region, he said, adding that people should be taking advantage of them.
The dietician and his wife are themselves committed to setting a good example by trying to source as much as they can locally and setting up a website called loafonline.co.uk.
Visitors to the website can find out about upcoming food events and farmers' markets, learn seasonal recipes and vote on various topics.
