Rarely do I or my reporting colleagues get opportunities for casual, extended conversation with the community and our readers.<\/p>\n
The Dallas Morning News is working to change that.<\/p>\n
The week of March 9, The News will host a pop-up newsroom<\/a> at The DEC Network attached to the Shops at RedBird, along with a few public events. This is an open house, Tuesday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and we\u2019re welcoming the community to join us.<\/p>\n One of the events is a free panel<\/a> on food and holistic health.<\/p>\n Business Briefing<\/p>\n By signing up, you agree to our\u00a0Terms of Service<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Privacy Policy.<\/a><\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n The discussion will revolve around the pillars of health that are outside of medical care \u2014 the food we eat, the air we breathe, the stress we take on, and more. We\u2019ll focus particularly on food and nourishment. The event will bring together some of North Texas\u2019 health leaders in a conversation I\u2019ll moderate. There will also be plenty of time for Q&A.<\/p>\n I know food can be a fraught topic. Food insecurity, yo-yo dieting and eating disorders have long plagued our communities. So let me address this off the bat: This discussion is not about chastising anyone for the food they buy, nor is it about calorie counting or body shaming.<\/p>\n This is about meeting ourselves where we\u2019re at, with care, compassion and an understanding of the resources available.<\/p>\n Because the food world can become suddenly different for people on GLP-1s, we\u2019ll touch on that, too, with general outlines of how to stay healthy when your medication has changed your appetite and diet.<\/p>\n I\u2019m excited to have this discussion with you and with some of North Texas\u2019 health leaders, including folks from Children\u2019s Health, Parkland Health, the Methodist Health System and UT Southwestern. My colleagues and I spend our work days tracking down information and stories to bring you the journalism we publish on The News\u2019 website and in the newspaper. This face-to-face conversation is a rare treat.<\/p>\n I hope you\u2019ll join us at this free panel event, and I hope you\u2019ll come ready to learn about how we can all find small, achievable ways to focus more on our health.<\/p>\n If you want more conversation with our newsroom, you can also swing by our pop-up newsroom<\/a> at The DEC Network<\/a>, formerly The Dallas Entrepreneur Center, at 3560 W. Camp Wisdom Road, Suite 200. We\u2019ll be there from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on March 10, 11 and 12. <\/p>\n The Dallas Morning News will host the \u201cFood as Medicine: Nourishing Health from the Inside Out\u201d panel event at The DEC Network on Tuesday, March 10, at 6 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. RSVP for this free event here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The virtual discussion will be on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. <\/p>\n For three days, journalists will work at a temporary office at The DEC Network.<\/p>\n For three decades, Jennifer Nguyen has been on a mission for Asian American visibility in Dallas-Fort Worth.<\/p>\n Dallas Morning News, Al D\u00eda host panel and food celebration highlighting Mexican cuisine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In my work as a reporter, I don\u2019t spend a lot of time on the public stage.
