We have begun our study of Fast food nutrition by reviewing the 6 classes of nutrients that humans need to survive and dietary guidelines. We are also beginning the nutritional analysis of fast food by viewing the Morgan Spurlock documentary "Super Size Me" where he eats McDonald's for every meal of the day for a month in order to see what effect if any it would have on his health.
The Syllabus and Medical release forms have been distributed to students. These forms should be signed and returned no later than Friday. NO student may use any of the fitness lab equipment until these forms are returned.
