Blog Action Day 2011 Topic: FOOD
October 16th is Blog Action Day, and this year's topic is FOOD -- a topic that could hardly be more appropriate, since Blog Action Day coincides with World Food Day, which is also October 16th.
Join Us!
As of October 11th, nearly 1500 bloggers from 80 countries were registered to take part in Blog Action Day this year. If you're a blogger, why not join us by getting involved this year! Participating is easy: Simply register your blog at the Blog Action Day website and then publish a post about FOOD on October 16th. Your post can focus on any aspect of the topic. For a few ideas and a list of suggested topics, visit the Why Food? page of the Blog Action Day site.
Suggested Food-Related Topics
You might want to draw attention to world hunger -- a very critical topic in today's world -- or focus on hunger in a specific area, either at home or abroad. Perhaps you'd prefer to focus on healthful food choices, getting back to basics, and moving away from the highly processed products the food industry is foisting upon us to line its pockets, while increasingly eroding our health. There are tons of related topics and just as many angles from which you can approach them. You may even decide to cover more than one food-related topic. Whatever you decide to write about, please do participate and help draw attention to a subject that is crucial to every person on earth.
Collect Your Links
If I might take it a step further, I'd like to recommend that you gather any links you may have to food-related organizations that are helping to make a difference -- or even food-related resources that can help others improve their own food choices -- and add these to your post. In that way, you'll be helping those dedicated organizations make a difference, while also encouraging people to improve their own and their families' health and well-being through wiser and more intentional food-related practices.

Hope you'll join us on Blog Action Day 2011 to share your perspective about FOOD and help make a difference! After all, isn't making a difference what blogging is all about?
Let's join together to do our part!

P.S. My apologies for posting so late about this. Hopefully my tardiness won't prevent you from participating!
Are you planning to participate in Blog Action Day this Sunday, October 16th? Hopefully the ranks of participating bloggers will swell between now and the "big day." Last year, 5,600 bloggers from 143 countries participated, reaching 40 million readers with information about another crucial topic -- WATER. Let's help make this year's event just as successful! Let's get people thinking -- and talking -- about FOOD!
