Description
After reading the two articles on diet as medicine in Chapter 9, answer each of the following questions fully. What’s meant by “fully” is thinking about the question, coming up with several points you want to make, and explaining your answer completely. You can make a list of ideas and their explanations. Your answers don’t need to be written in fully developed paragraphs.
For credit, submit your answers before class on Canvas as a Word (doc docx) or PDF and come to class to discuss with your classmates.
1.) Why is low income so often associated with a poor diet and bad health?
2.) Do you eat mostly homemade food, or do you often go out to eat? Which do you think is better for your health? Why?
3.) There is a saying, “You are what you eat.” What does this saying mean to you? Do you agree with it? Explain the reasons for your answer.
4.) After reading the article under Reading Week 11 Day 1, “Can food be medicine? Pros and Cons”, what are the points the author makes that support the concept of food as medicine (pros) and those that argue against it (cons). Can you add any pros or cons that aren’t mentioned?
