Flora Korkis is a spirited woman who just thinks way too much about food. Well, she doesn't think so, but everyone around her does. Anyway, this fascination with food transcends all of her other main interests: politics, science, cooking, and life & social sciences in general. Someday, Flora will become a Registered Dietitian and will probably dedicate her research to many food-related topics. She is especially intrigued by the idea of merging the food sciences with social science topics. Examples follow:
- increasing accessibility to nutritious food supplies for the socially and economically disadvantaged (minorities, homeless people, poor people, those within "food desserts", etc.)
- creating a healthy relationship with food, namely for those with eating disorders
- megarexia
Flora hopes that you enjoy reading about her adventures in farming as much as she likes to make you believe that they're important and awesome.
