The Silver City Food Co-op is collaborating with Registered Dietitian Bret Sarnquist to educate the community about a different health issues. Join us on Saturday, December 10, 2016 at 11 am at the Silver City Food Co-op located at 520 N. Bullard St. for an insightful tour of the Co-op.

Are you looking to expand your diet with healthy new foods, or improve the overall quality of what you eat? Come join Bret Sarnquist, a local Registered Dietitan and chef, to take a tour of the co-op to learn about a dozen "secret superfoods" - foods that are unfamiliar for many people but are excellent sources of nutrition and a good way to broaden your culinary horizons. The tour will last approximately 45 minutes and will include food samples and an opportunity for Q&A.

Bret is a New Mexico-licensed Registered Dietitian specializing in sports nutrition and nutritional management of chronic diseases like diabetes, anemia, and osteoporosis. A life-long cook and food lover, Bret was a professional baker and pastry chef for seven years before returning to school at Arizona State University to get a BS in Nutrition, and then completed his dietetic internship in Flagstaff. He's an avid co-op and farmers' market shopper, and attempts, with modest success, to grow his own herbs, tomatoes, and hot peppers. If he's not at work at Gila Regional Medical Center or cooking, you're likely to see him riding his mountain bike or running out on Boston Hill or on the Continental Divide Trail.
