Through last two decades much has been said about the relation between the almost unstoppable growing of nationwide obesity and fast food. Fast food is cheap, almost instantly available and filling, and yet full of fat, sugar and salts. Consequently, this altogether makes for a large amount of extra calories. However, to blame the so-called obesity epidemic on fast food alone is too simple and shallow. Many Americans struggle with it while not consuming fast food on a daily basis. Indeed, they do much of their cooking at home, where they can control the ingredients - but still find themselves struggling ...

- What did you learn that was beneficial to you? Be specific (i.e. give specific examples and references). Why did you find this beneficial? How will you apply what you have learned to your personal lifestyle?

In this class I have learned that eating healthy does not necessarily mean consuming less calories, skipping specific food groups, or skipping whole meals; but rather, eating healthy means consuming all types of foods in a balanced way. What surprised me most was that healthy eating actually means consuming many calories, but they have to be beneficial; they cannot be so called “empty calories.” Foods that are considered high in calories but still healthy are dried fruits and avocados. Cereal is a good breakfast option because of the high percentage of fiber and calcium. While consuming many healthy calories is ...
