Introduction
"You Are What You Eat"
McDonald's, Taco Bell, Cick-fi-la...who doesn't love a good fast food meal sometimes, but do you really know what you're putting into your body? Everything we eat and drink has a role in affecting our health. The United States has the highest obesity rate in the world. Think about the foods you choose to eat everyday...are they benefiting your health or hurting it? By the end of this Webquest, you will have a better understanding of what you're eating, how it affects your body, and what are some healthier food choices.
Task
You will be researching information about your personal nutritional needs, key nutrients for your body, healthier food choices, and the effects of foods on your body and health. You will have the opportunity to work with a partner for certain sections throughout the Webquest, but other sections will be done individually. You will be provided with websites and worksheets as needed, but you will research most of the information.
Explore, ask questions, debate, research, and educate yourself about how the foods you eat effect your body.
