I asked several of my friends, foodie and otherwise, on Twitter if they had any New Year’s resolutions that involved food. Sure eating less and losing weight turned up in their responses, but so did a whole lot more. See what chefs, bloggers, real estate agents and more are resolving to change about their food in 2010.

@glueandglitter: I probably need to cut down on fried things in 2010. Also, pack hubby's lunch more!

Becky from Glue and Glitter is my go-to person for Vegan advice.

@grndiva Food resolution for 2010: Purchase at least 50% of my family's food as I can that's grown w/i 100 miles. I'm well on my way!
