This Monday's meeting was about eating healthy and choosing healthier alternatives. The activities the group participated in included a scavenger hunt for not so good snacks, which, once found, had a better snack option inside. Also, everyone wrote what they ate that day and then they could see what was unhealthy and what could change. Finally, three groups looked at the nutrition guides for popular fast food restaurants and found the least healthy meals and then looked for what smarter choices would be. After working in groups, we watched some clips from the movies "Over the Hedge" and "Supersize Me", and had focus questions about over eating. Everyone came away with some useful information about making more informed choices.
