Things to Think About |
How have our food choices changed over time? Where does the food I eat come from? WHY do I eat what I eat? Does everyone have these same choices? Are my food choices nutritious? How will my food choices affect my health in the future? Are we healthier now than in the past? Why or why not? |

Keywords |

Other ideas (to assist with discovery) |
The Dodge County Extension Annual Reports provide a wealth of information that illustrate food choices and other nutritional practices of that time period. The reports are written with interesting commentary that shows the connection between individuals, families and community both small and large. |

This guide is meant to provide a quick step back in time to encourage middle school students to think about the quantity and quality of food choices available to them today as compared to the past. By including a variety of topics, from food availability, processing, distribution, marketing, storage and preparation, students can begin to analyze and question their own food choices. Photos and documents were chosen for their unique and many times humorous content. |
|
Students define healthy eating. Students log and analyze their food intake. Students identify strengths and weaknesses in their own diet and suggest ways to eat healthier. Students identify processed versus real or single foods. Students compare nutritional value of different foods. Students discuss how their food choices affect local, national or global economy. Students debate if people are more or less healthy today than in the past and support their reasoning with ideas in the guide. Students recognize marketing and packaging influences on their food choices and the affect on the environment. Students compare and contrast food choices from past and present. Students interview a family member about how food choices have changed in their lifetime. |
