Final blog

This is it, were getting closer to the finish line with school as well as our class and blogging. At first I thought blogging was going to be alot of work since we had a 5 person group. After doing the first week's blog I realized that it wasn't that bad at all and it really helped me connect with whats going on today.

It helped that we had as many people in our group since none of us had any repeat articles, I learned more than I expected. Before this class, I never read food related articles or magazines and I notice that its really important in this industry to keep up with the latest trends, laws and new about companies and restaurants. I didn't dread having to look up articles for class as well as for these blogs because I enjoy reading about my major and the industry I want to work in.

In the food industry, I think that blogging can be helpful for a few different reasons. The blogs about restaurants in certain cities and states can help those places see what people are saying about them. Seeing any negative posts help those restaurants see customer's interests and likes/dislikes. Blogs about nutrition and new trends going on today can help restaurants become aware of these and make positive changes to keep up and stay updated.

I don't know if I will blog in my future. If my job requires me to become involved in some to help their business out, then I will participate in blogs. Though, I will continue to read articles and magazines about the food industry.

I found another nutrition blog that is written by RD's, fitness experts, and MD's and it is open to the public to read about the latest diet news. I thought it was an informal and reliable blog people can go to for information. Diet Blog
