Today Stephanie and I worked together putting the health presentation together for the Girl Scouts for next week. We decided to focus on sugar intake. I helped to put together a sugar cube activity using sugar cubes to measure the amount of sugar in several different "kid friendly" foods or foods that many kids like to eat. The purpose of the actitivty is to show kids how much sugar are in foods and why it is important not to eat too much sugar. Im going to enjoy participating in thsi activity.
I also learned about Nutrition Value scorces. This is a feature that HyVee stores have on many of not all of their food products. It gives a nutrional score to each item between 1 and 100. The higher the score the more nutrisous the food is. For example an apple is 100 while some 100% apple juices are a 4. I went around the store viewing the scorces and was really intrigued by this! I also was able to meet some of the health food managers and learn a little about what they do.
