Interpretive.
The most important thing I gained from this experience was seeing how the food served in the hospital was prepared. Also, learning how to measure things out according to specific serving size and Nutrition Facts label. Not to mention, working with other people to get several tasks finished; tray line and restocking, for example.

Applied.
My Service Learning helped me find one of my answers: Reading and Interpreting the Nutrition Facts Labe. At Casa Colina, each meal is planned by a dietician who also calculates the Nutrients in a particular meal.

Blog Assignment# 20: 2 hour room creativity and activity ideas

1. For my room setup I would like to get some sort of wall covering- like maybe a black sort of tarp-thing that I saw in a lot of presentations last year. I would also like to arrange the desks in groups of four or five students and then cover the groups of tables with different color tablecloths.
2. For one of my answer 1 or answer 2 activities, I would like to incorporate different food products and why which one is better to eat and why a certain product wouldn't be good to eat. I would like to bring healthy snacks for the participants.

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.

Blog Assignment #9 Science Proposal

                                                          Science Project Proposal

1. If  a person seldom cooks at home, they are more likely to be obese.

Dependent variable:rate of obesity
Independent variable:cooking at home versus not cooking at home
Control: American Families in California

-This experiment will help me understand my EQ, because it is about nutrition and health concerns. Obesity is a very big health concern.

-I will collect the data by using some of the statistics sites from the ESA like the U.S. department of agriculture, NIH, and CDC.  I will then use this study to construct my experiment: http://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v19/n12/full/oby2011130a.html.  Lastly, I will use statistics to analyze the significance of my results.
