Hi Students,
This time, writing on this blog page is a mandatory homework assignment. We will continue reading/studying about health-related issues in the science section of our textbook (pgs. 514-515). In addition to the reading assignment, we will watch a movie (see our Weebly science page) and look over the USDA recommendations for eating healthy. In addition, we will be completing a fun assignment in the computer lab that will enable you to create your own healthy meal.....at a fast-food restaurant, no less! First of all, however, I ask each of you to respond to this blog by answering just a few questions:
1. How often to you visit fast-food establishments?
2. Does nutrition play a role when ordering off the menu? (are you concerned with the nutritional value of the food?)
3. Do you believe that ALL fast food is unhealthy?
4. Would you be willing to spend more money at the restaurant if you were assured of the food's improved nutritional value?
5. In general, would you describe your eating habits as healthy? Explain briefly.
Thanks!
Mrs. J.
