Happy Blogoversay today; the blog is 1-year old.  It has been a pleasure to write and to meet so many wonderful people over the past year, and I am looking forward to continually bringing nutrition information and topics of interest your way.  Each of you that have read, contributed your thoughts and ideas, or shared your feelings along the way, thank you, which has made blogging so enjoyable. 

Thank you for reading and making “From A Dietitian’s Perspective” part of your blog world. Please enjoy a piece of “fat-free chocolate cake” below.

 

Sincerely,

Anthony :)

  4. Anthony, you have a supportive, non-judgemental, positive friend. I have been selective with dietitians included on my connections on FB, but you have always been encouraging and positive and supportive of me. I appreciate our paths closely electronically and hope they do so in real life eventually. Congratulations.
