Chapter 4 Design Project: Summary of Thought Process:

Brief Summary of the Process:

Students are becoming concern on the types of foods they are intaking and what affect they may have on their health and daily activities.  Students can become better aware of what they eating by documenting their food intake in a nutritional log and by becoming aware of other factors that may effect their choices in foods, such as advertising, the economy, and the food caloric data that is labeled on food products.
