Compare 3 food labels or nutritional information of a breakfast food such as bread, cereal or granola bars

/in /by

Compare 3 food labels or nutritional information of a breakfast food such as bread, cereal or granola bars. Please try your best to get labels of the food found in a grocery store or at home. You may take a photo of a food label (with a phone etc.) instead of buying the product if you don’t wish to.
Look at the 3 food labels and notice the differences in areas such as nutrients, packaging, price, quantity and ingredients.
After analysis of the labels, produce an easy to read comparative chart for the products. It cannot be hand written.
Be sure to choose a uniform serving size and convert the calculations accordingly – i.e. let’s say you choose 1 cup of cereal as your uniform serving size, but some of the labels serving sizes could be ¾ cup or ½ cup. You will need to double all of the nutrition info for the ½ cup serving size cereal.
For each product, list:
Serving Size (all must be converted to the same)
Calories
Total Fat
Saturated Fat
Sodium
Total Carbohydrate
Total Sugar
Dietary Fiber
Protein
Price per ounce of product or other practical equal amount so that they are equal for comparison
Any other information you deem important for comparison or interesting observations that may deter or encourage someone to buy the product – i.e. taste, claims/advertisements, calcium etc.
Vitamins and Minerals

Attach a separate sheet of paper answering the following questions concerning your products. Please make sure to refer to EACH of the 3 brands in every answer:
Answers need to be typed
How many grams of fat are in each of the chosen items? What is the percentage of calories coming from fat for each brand? Ex. Is it < 25% of total calories? (show your work). Comment on the comparison of fat percentage.
How many grams of sugar are in each these products? AND how many grams of fiber? Approximately how many teaspoons of sugar does each brand use? Is this a “natural” or “added” sugar? (HINT there are 4 grams sugar / teaspoon). If no sugar or fiber is in one or more of the brand’s products, write a few sentences commenting on why, or what ingredient you think could have been used as a substitute.
How many milligrams of sodium are in each of these products? This of the brands produces a food product that could be consumed if someone were on a restricted sodium diet (ie? < 2300 mg/day)?
Explain in a short paragraph the differences between these brands of the same product. Comment on significant differences in nutrients, vitamins and/or mineral content and ingredients.
Which of the brands provides the most economical choice? Is it necessarily the healthiest choice? Explain your answer.
Which brand would you purchase and why?

Unit 5 Assignment

Unit outcomes addressed in this Assignment:

 Identify the minimum internal cooking time and temperature for foods.  Identify time and temperature requirements for holding foods for service.

Course outcomes assessed in this Assignment: NS305-3: Describe the flow of food through the food service establishment. Instructions:

You are a Nutritionist at your local health department and have been asked to create a handout that walks a particular food through the flow of food in the food establishment identifying critical areas in each step – purchasing, receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, holding, cooling, reheating, and serving (see below for your food assignment). The handout should be designed for an adult public audience to be distributed at your local community health fair. As in the previous Assignment, do not presume your audience has any food safety or scientific background. Please no jargon or acronyms that are not widely known. In this brochure, you need to discuss the following related to your food:

 Identify critical areas in purchasing.

 Identify critical areas in receiving.

 Identify critical areas in storing.

 Identify critical areas in preparing.

 Identify critical areas in cooking.

 Identify critical areas in holding.

 Identify critical areas in cooling.

 Identify critical areas in reheating.

 Identify critical areas in serving.

Note about assigned food: since these topics are broad, please pick something specific within the category. E.g., if you are assigned Fresh Fruit, pick a specific fruit (apple, blueberry, etc.). Keep in mind that you must report on each critical area, so pick a food that easily goes through the flow. For example, apple goes through flow better than watermelon as apple is typically heated, cooled, etc., whereas watermelon typically is eaten raw. Food will be assigned as followed: Last name starts with: Food Assigned A or B: Fish C or D: Shellfish E or F: Crustaceans G or H: Meat I or J: Poultry

State your position on the topic you selected for Assignment 1.1.

/in /by

When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking.

The assignment is divided into two (2) parts.
For Part I of the assignment (due Week 2), you read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes, reviewed the Procon.org Website in order to gather information, and engaged in prewriting to examine your thoughts.
* Remember that in the Week 2 Discussion, you examined the biases discussed in Chapter 2 of the webtext.

In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will write a paper to synthesize your ideas.
Part II – Writing
Write at three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. State your position on the topic you selected for Assignment 1.1.
2. Identify (3) three premises (reasons) from the Procon.org website that support your position and explain why you selected these specific reasons.
3. Explain your answers to the “believing” questions about the three (3) premises opposing your position from the Procon.org website.
4. Examine at least two (2) types of biases that you likely experienced as you evaluated the premises for and against your position.
5. Discuss the effects of your own enculturation or group identification that may have influenced your biases.
6. Discuss whether or not your thinking about the topic has changed after playing the “Believing Game,” even if your position on the issue has stayed the same.

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
