Communications at @AFFI, talking frozen food, comms, writing and DC. Views belong to my dog.

I’m on a five hour delay at the airport in Lima, so here are pictures of some Very Good Dogs spotted in Peru (and a bunch of Very Good Cats chilling in a flowerbed).

@NYFarmer She looks tough!

[Council of DC @councilofdc]

On this tragic date, please remember the 6 @dcpublicschools kids & teachers from Backus, Leckie, & Ketcham Elementary Schools we lost on 9/11, 23 years ago today. Their pursuit of knowledge on a field trip to California ended tragically with the crash of Flight 77 at the Pentagon

VIDEO: "Frozen is often better for folks that most need nutrition assistance…if we want these programs to be as accessible as possible, we should have parity between fresh and frozen." @RepJasmine on how the #SHOPPAct will help more families: https://t.co/3WYgQt6ZHZ

Thank you to @SenStabenow and @SenateAgDems for voicing your support of a #FarmBill and fully-funded nutrition programs such as #SNAP and #WIC at the @fractweets Benefit Breakfast. AFFI is a proud sponsor of this year’s event. (1/2)

[American Frozen Food Institute @AFFI]

#Foodprocessing brings a lot to the table. AFFI President and CEO @AlisonBodor recently discussed the benefits of processing and why it's important to share how the #frozenfood category positively shapes our lives.

100 wins.
AL East clinched.
The team, the fans, we’ve been through a lot. This is so satisfying. What a great season and so much more to come. #Orioles

[Mary Emma Young @MaryEmmaWrites]

@alanhenney My condolences. She sounds like a truly remarkable woman!

[Mary Emma Young @MaryEmmaWrites]

@AVMAJAVMA Thanks for sharing - I didn't realize that there is no data on pets injured or killed in car accidents!

[Mary Emma Young @MaryEmmaWrites]

Produce prescription programs can lead to better heart health - but the USDA #ProducePrescription Program excludes #frozen fruits and vegetables. It's time to make produce consumption easier with frozen: https://t.co/vUlftg5GkZ

[American Frozen Food Institute @AFFI]

Increased #fruit and #vegetable consumption can support better health outcomes. A new study found that low-income patients who were "prescribed" fruits and vegetables ate more produce and saw major drops in blood pressure.

Happy #Fruits & #Veggies Month! DYK nearly half of all children ages 1-5 don't eat a single veggie on a daily basis? Having frozen fruits and veggies on hand makes it easier to eat more produce and it's just as nutritious!

Let’s go Os! So proud and happy to see a successful rebuild and an exciting future for this team.

First place in the AL East officially belongs to the @Orioles. 🔥

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Thank you to @SenatorLujan and my Senator, @JohnCornyn, for introducing our SHOPP Act in the Senate. One step closer to making fresh and frozen produce affordable and accessible to all - wherever you live!

[Mary Emma Young @MaryEmmaWrites]

In reviewing an organization's performance review process, the author found that "men who reviewed other men assessed them 12% higher than women... as compared to when women reviewed both men and other women." https://t.co/Cu2UuCtqO0

@ScottRobertsDC @dcwater @BloomingdaleCA Thanks for sharing, I remember that vigil and am in one of those photos. It was a horrific crime but that vigil felt like a unifiying moment for the neighborhood.

[Mary Emma Young @MaryEmmaWrites]

@Elle68887690 @DCDPR Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that! I had not seen or heard anything. I hope that everyone is OK.

[Mary Emma Young @MaryEmmaWrites]

@DCDPR I showed up to swim at the Takoma pool tonight and staff wouldn’t let me in or explain what is happening, despite posted hours saying you’re open. Can you please give details? With the intermittent service at Wilson, it’s getting tougher to find an indoor lap pool!

[American Frozen Food Institute @AFFI]

"Freezing is a temperature state. It's one of the most natural forms of preservation." AFFI's @AlisonBodor joined the @FoodInstitute to discuss what's new in #frozenfood and #mythbust.
