This week we are beginning a look at nutrition. The more I study this topic the more I seem to find. I am amazed and sometimes terrified at the new information I am learning. Honestly, before I became a FACS teacher I did not think much about food and nutrition. But now it is a topiic near and dear to me. I want to teach my students how to live healthier lives. This is a hard subject for middle school students to comprehend because they are at an age where they think thye are invincible! Let's face it, we all did when we were this age! But today's children have more reason than ever to learn proper nutriton and use what they learn. Georgia is ranked 2nd in the nation for childhood obesity and diabetes is affecting young people at greater rates than ever before.
