Nourish(meant) handouts

Printed handouts are a huge part of the Nourish(meant) project– through them, we’ll be able to share a lot more knowledge and in a more enduring way.  Below are all the subjects we hope to cover;  some we know a lot about, some nothing at all- we plan to get information from other literature and friends.  If you know about one of these topics, please contact us!

Each handout will be printed on one 8.5×11″ page folded in half in a sort of graphic novel style.  If you contribute, you’ll be featured as a character in the pages, credited of course.  And feel free to suggest other topics if you see one we’re missing.  Thanks!
