Your job is to help students understand what types of food they should eat and what types of food to avoid or limit.

What are the challenges that you think students will have in adopting your recommendations? What methods will you use to encourage and inspire students to follow your recommendations? Be creative in your answers! Consider what motivates students to change their behavior, given that they are often pressed for time and money. Your plan must be realistic! (please suggest plant-based diets and describe the benefits in your recommendation) 2. (350-500 words)You, a concerned teacher at an elementary school, have noticed that students are not eating as healthfully as they should be and cannot identity many types of vegetables and fruits. You want some sort of intervention to be enacted at the school that educates students on healthy eating.

The title of your presentation is "Popping pills vs. eating meals: The need for nutrition-based medical education." Accordingly, your goal is to encourage medical students to be more aware and competent in diet-based prevention and treatment strategies. How would you "sell" nutrition-based medicine to your audience of medical students? What examples would you integrate in your presentation?
