It is no secret that America is overweight. A record number of children are obese and are showing signs of adult diseases such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, people are recognizing this and beginning to do something about it: (1) restaurants and markets are offering healthier options; (2) menus are starting to list calories; and (3) schools are limiting the number of unhealthy options available to students in the cafeteria and vending machines. To support these efforts, this article describes a project that can be done in conjunction with health, science, or family and consumer science classes with lessons focusing on healthy eating and nutrition.
