Congratulations Kari Keaton

Hearty congratulations to >Rockville Central friend Kari Keaton, founder of the Metro DC Food Allergy Support Group which meets in Rockville. Kari was recently featured as a guest on Rockville Central Radio.

But, more recently and far groovier, Kari features as the lead voice in today’s front page Washington Post article on how food manufacturers and grocers are responding — or trying to respond — to the growing number of Americans who have food allergies and sensitivities:

Kari Keaton is the sort of customer most businesses used to hate. The Rockville mother lingers at the grocery store, poring over ingredient labels. She calls food manufacturers and interrogates their customer service representatives about what sorts of foods get processed in the same facility and probes them on the meaning of “natural flavoring.” And after all that effort, she still may not buy their product.

Indeed, Kari is tireless when it comes to raising awareness about food allergies (and is tireless in her support of other important causes too, as those who know her will attest). Her efforts in this area are a linchpin for so much that is going on. It just makes perfect sense that the Post would turn to Kari to lead off this article.

Way to go, Kari!
