Health Advocacy: Nevermind Food Groups

Who remembers learning about the food groups?

Did you know that science now shows us that food groups aren't the best way to choose healthful food to eat? WHAT?!!!  SURPRISE! As science makes new discoveries, we adjust to use that new information in better ways. 


The things that ACTUALLY make our food choices healthy are:

  1. How much fiber they have
  2. How much vitamins and minerals they have
  3. How few chemicals are added to them
  4. How little processing is used to make them

Today we'll learn about FIBER! You have probably heard a lot about protein, carbohydrates and fat and very little about fiber. Let's learn what it is.

  

Slide show about fiber

PRESENTERS: Use the PRESENT button in the top right of the screen to full the view with the whole slide. Use the ESC key (upper left corner of your keyboard) to get out of the presenter view.


<Body Break> 


___________________________________


Game: How Much Fiber?

  • Each player names a food. 
  • The presenters look it up on this page to find out how many grams of fiber are in a serving. 
  • The number of grams of fiber is the number of points the player gets. 
  • The player with the most points after 3 rounds wins. 

PRESENTERS: 

  1. Type the food into the search bar. 
  2. When you enter a food you'll have to choose a sub-category like serving size, raw, etc. 
  3. Then find the nutrition label that comes up and look only at FIBER. The game will get too slow if you look at the other nutrient values. 
  4. Give the player the number of points equal to the fiber content. 

Find the High Fiber Foods

Look at the *pictures of foods here. Which foods do you think have the highest fiber? For EXTRA health, which foods have fewer chemicals?

Presenters: the * means the link was included in the printed materials packet

Living with Others - Negotiating Needs and Preferences

When we live with other people food choices can affect everybody. 

  1. What are some foods that smell great when they are cooking?
  2. What are some foods that smell bad when cooked?
  3. What are some foods that you don't want anywhere near you?
  4. What are some foods that you can't live without?

When we live with others we often have to negotiate when and what to cook. Imagine you are moving in with some new roommates. One of your roommates is on a special diet that requires a lot of fish and another one hates the smell of fish cooking and is a vegetarian. Pretend they ask you to help them solve the problem. What advice would you give them? 


Choose the phrases that sound assertive without being aggressive.

PRESENTERS: You can read with intonation to clarify which statements are more aggressive.

  1. I NEED to eat my fish every day, so you have to deal with it
  2. I understand that you don't like the smell of fish cooking, but my diet really does require it.
  3. As a vegetarian I think you're a monster for eating those poor little helpless fish.
  4. As a vegetarian, I can understand a special diet, but do you think we can figure out a way that you don't have COOK it every day?
  5. Well special diets are stupid. You need to eat like a normal person, like me.
  6. If we just keep thinking, we can solve this. Let's keep trying to figure it out.

Knowledge & Fun With Friends

Friday, August 14, 2020


Check-In with everyone

Hello again. Friday. Let's sing a song about Friday!


Show & Share 

Let's see that EXPIRATION DATE!


Show us the can, medicine bottle, food item, or other emergency supply that you found that has an EXPIRATION date. 


Why do things expire? What does that mean?

Is there a difference between EXPIRE, SPOIL and GO STALE?


Look at these pictures of where to find expiration dates on packages and containers:


Boxed Soy Milk

Water Jug

Medicine (Pill form)

Bread

Canned Food


  1. Which item/s probably becomes inactive when it expires instead of spoiling?
  2. Can you tell the expiration date of each item?
  3. What are some differences in how the dates are written?
  4. Sometimes the day comes before the month. That's how they write dates outside the US. 
  5. Years are often shown as just 2 digits. Like 1978 can be shown as '78, or 2011 might be written '11. When it comes to expiration dates we should always make sure the year is either the current year or in the f_________________. 

Next week Show & Share will focus on pets and how we care for them. If you have a pet, a picture of your pet, a stuffed animal that is like a pet or just a favorite animal you would like to be your pet, bring it to show on Monday. 


You don't have to HAVE your own pet, or a live pet, to participate. Just having animals that live in our community is a happy thing. Information about pets and pet care is interesting to everyone.
