Food security should be a major focal point for community nutrition.  In order to operate successfully as a dietitian in the community it is essential to understand what effects food security has on health and wellness.  Knowing the food security status of the community and people you are working with is very important to be able to accurately assess and assist in their specific situation.  I'm sure that in my career I will have to take into account food security of those who I am working with in order to help and educate them.

Community Nutrition Aspirations
I'm really looking forward to this quarter in community nutrition.  Community nutrition is the field of dietetics in which I am most interested.  I hope to get an even better idea of what all the community aspect of dietetics may include besides that which I have already experienced.  I think community nutrition is all about sharing your skills and education in the field of nutrition with those around you who would benefit from the experience.  I haven't really put much thought into the future assignments yet, but I will start on that in the near future.
