About the Authors

The Real Food Campaign is a blog started by three UC Berkeley graduates with a passion for delicious food and a shared commitment to healthy eating.

Kristin currently resides in Oakland, California.  She has been a pescatarian (vegetarian with the exception of fish and shellfish) for nearly 10 years.  She is enrolled in a graduate school program and hopes to one day become a registered dietitian.  Her favorite foods include cheese, chocolate, and oysters on the half shell.

Melody lives in Berkeley, California.  She works two jobs — one as a paralegal in San Francisco and the other at a local organic restaurant.  She is a poet, pianist, singer, songwriter, and omnivore.  Her favorite foods are papayas, yogurt, and rice.

Emily lives in the suburban neighborhood of Concord, California.  She is an omnivore, a full-time teacher, and the mother to a busy toddler (who is helping her plant her first garden this spring!).  Her favorite foods include fish tacos, aloo gobi, and roasted carrots.
