The purpose of this assignment is to help you become aware of what you are consuming
when you eat at Fast Food restaurants. Any restaurant has good (healthier) choices and
choices that are not so good for you. When you go to a restaurant where you have the
option of ordering for yourself, YOU are in control of what type of choice you make.
Sometimes it just takes small changes to make an unhealthy meal a little healthier!
What is your favorite fast food meal?
- List everything you would order from your
favorite fast food restaurant. Be sure to include the size (small, med. large etc.) or the
total # (ex: 5 pieces pizza).
