Hello, I'm Ellen Parham.  I am a professor of nutrition at Northern
Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois.  I teach community nutrition,
research methods, and obesity and eating disorders to undergraduate and
graduate majors. I believe in the new weight paradigm and incorporate the
principle of size acceptance and natural eating into the counseling I
do.  Until this July I am chair of the Society of Nutrition Education's
division of Weight Realities.
        Our students have this year all recieved opportunity to go
on-line.  So I'm interested in the educational potential of that
opportunity, especially for students in my community nutrition class.
        Looking forward to productive exchanges, Ellen
