Activity #1

Please post 3 thoughtful questions about nutrition with your group, that you and your classmates will be able to answer later.

Do not use any yes or no questions or true or false questions. Make it a challenge for your peers.

Examples:
-Why are fruits and vegetables healthy?
-Why should we eat healthy foods?
-Compare a healthy food and an unhealthy food, what do they have in common, what is different?
