Welcome!

Hello, Pollyspurple, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Choosing Articles

Potential Articles

Nutrient systems -- this article is about pre-made mixes that various groups in the food industry that are used to save money and ensure proper nutrients are in the food. This article could be improved drastically because it is neither very clear nor does it have any citations at all.

Adolescents and food marketing--this article concentrates on the ways that foods are marketed towards adolescents. There are several places where irrelevant information is placed in the context of the article that could be deleted in order to make this article more clear.

Food miles--This article is one that discusses the term "food miles" which discusses how far food travels in order to get to its destination from its point of origin. As noted by wikipedia, this article is missing a lot of citations and could be improved by adding that information.
