Grad project + nutrition — seeking a mentor

As a graduation requirement, we must establish communication with a mentor during the course of our grad project(s). They can be a subject, technology, or production expert (with at least 5 years of professional experience) or a designer. "Mentors provide valuable input to Senior Projects to help validate topics and design solutions."

I've now decided to focus my grad project on creating/increasing (through a website) our awareness of the degradation of the quality of our food, in order to change our relationship with food, to change our attitude toward it. I'm also going to be exploring alternative methods of navigation within the frame of the website.

I'm looking for someone who can either provide expertise in nutrition -- and all that is wrong with the food industry and its products today -- or expertise in Flash/web design. If you are either, or know anyone who is, please contact me right away. Thanks!
