Discussion 1

"Genetically Modified Foods" or GMO's have become a controversial topic over the last decade or so, due to health, legal and cultural ideologies. They have both advocates and proponents on both sides of the issue. Please do some research and come to your own conclusions, then answer the question...Where do you stand?

Discussion 2

After completing the Nutrition Lesson, you probably have a good understanding of how fats and excess carbohydrates can contribute to higher fat deposits and a higher BMI. But what about beverages, specifically, so called "Energy Drinks"? Please do some on line research into "Energy Drinks" and post your thoughts and feelings regarding their impact on the health of our society. Do you think they are acceptable, maybe in moderation, maybe as a supplement to water, or maybe not at all?

Discussion 3

Please share with your classmates some of the ways in which you currently cope or plan to cope with the stress in your life.  You do not have to go into detail about your personal stress, but perhaps we can share techniques, skills, tools, etc... that may be able to help us calm our nervous system when needed.  I imagine there will be some great ideas here that will prove to be beneficial now or in our future!
