Blog Assignment #18 The Product

As of March, I believe that my product is that I have learned to eat healthier, and cook better food. Lately I have been tracking my diet on the app for android called MyFitness Pal. This way I can see exactly what I am eating and how much nutrients I am getting from it- and which I am getting too much of. I have also started Service Learning where I have been helping to cut vegetables for salads and make other healthy foods like whole wheat turkey sandwiches.
