Food Consumption: Possible subtopics include – Body for Life, food and grocery audit, fast food hunger strike, other subtopics are acceptable if approved.

Keep an honest journal of what you eat for two days. Do not change your habits at all. Be sure to specify what time of day you are eating as well. Take note of specific foods that you eat that produce a lot of waste (fast food for example).

Write out your personal plan for optimizing your food consumption (not only for the environment, but also for your health). Outline the food program you plan to follow from today until the end of this project and what environmental and health benefits you expect that program to produce.

How does being a good steward of our own bodies lead to our being a good steward of other things that have been entrusted to us? Draw a picture, paint, sculpt, write an essay or a poem, or find some other form of expression for your thoughts about this project. You may need to attach a file or a picture for this portion of the assignment.

Visit a brewery, bakery, cheese making facility, or any other place that produces food or any other product using protists or fungi (sauerkraut, kombucha, miso). Ask about the organisms they use at the facility (yeast, other fungi, bacteria, etc. You might ask what type of microorganism they use, what does the microorganism "eat," what are optimal conditions, does it make a difference what variety or strain used, etc. Briefly, describe the place including your subjective thoughts. This can include almost anything from your initial impression to the taste of the food to what production facilities looked like.

Also, write a little bit about the science of how the food or product produced. What microorganism do they use? What does it eat? How does it affect the food? Is the microorganism killed off before human consumption or is it still alive and active in the food? If you can't get enough scientific information from the place, you visit you may substitute some information from other sources. If you do use other sources cite them. A term paper is not necessary for this assignment.

Scenario/Summary

Welcome to Lab 3.

The goal of this assignment is to examine food available at fast-food establishments and examine dietary practices of the everyday consumer while reviewing key nutritional components.

Fast Food Menu Creation Overview

For this assignment, you have been asked to explore the nutritional value of menu items at a local fast-food restaurant. Using the available menu items, plan two meals: the healthiest meal possible and the unhealthiest meal possible. Both meals should include an entrée, a side, a beverage, and dessert.

Deliverables

Describe the healthy meal that you have created from the fast-food restaurant using the nutritional value of menu items.

Name the restaurant, and then write a nutritional analysis of the meal you have created. (Explain all of the nutrients found in the meal, like carbs, protein, fat, and some essential vitamins and minerals.)

Discuss your reaction to the analysis--make sure to explain why you feel the way you do about this meal. For example, if your meal is composed primarily of fat, discuss that point; if your meal supplies a lot of sugar per serving, discuss that as well. Please also remember to link excess or limited amounts of nutrients with diseases or the potential for disease (too much fat may put you at risk for heart disease, not enough calcium may not support bone health, etc.). Please make sure this section is as detailed as possible.

How will this information affect your future food choices? Make sure to explain why you will or will not eat this meal again, and support your answer with the information found in the above sections.
