The article is from the Washington Post, January 17, 2016, by Michael Ruhlmanentitled: "No Food is Healthy, Not even Kale."

Based on your reading in the textbook share the following information with your classmates:

(1) To what degree to you agree with article, "No Food is Healthy, Not even Kale."  Do semantics count? Should we focus on foods that are described as nourishing (nutrient-dense) instead of foods described as healthy because the word "healthy" is a "bankrupt" word?  Explain and refer to information from the article.

(2) Based on the article and the textbook reading (review pages 9-30), how challenging is it for you to choose nutritious foods that promote health?  What factors drive your food choices? Explain to your classmates.

(3) What do you think is the biggest concern we face health-wise in the US today?

(4) What are some obstacles as to why we may not be eating as well as we would like to?

Please complete all questions, if you have any question let me knowv
