Food Habits (2 parts)

Part One (Unit 2) For this unit’s Assignment, please complete Activity 2 found on page 32. For this assignment you will create 2 different menus. They should each be for a different cultural or religious group that you learned about in chapter 2. Make sure the meal plan meets the RDAs for each at https://www.choosemyplate.gov/SuperTracker/

Copy and paste the Super Tracker Food Group and Calories Report and the Nutrient Report information into your project so you are able to show the food group comparison and the nutrients totals for each culturally appropriate menu.

If you use Native American as one of your cultural groups, make sure your food selections are different than those given as an example on page 32.

Your finished project should contain 3 parts, your created menus, the Food Group and Calorie Report and the Nutrient Report.
