“Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of – a blessing that money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful for it.” Isaak Walton
Overview
‘We Are What We Eat’ involves a study of nutrition. Students investigate the role of the six major food nutrients in the body: protein, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, fats, vitamins, minerals and also water. Students will understand what influences their food choices and will learn how food labelling and marketing impacts food choices. They will discover where to find sound dietary advice and will study the impact of consuming processed foods, including sugar. This unit introduces more advanced cookery processes than previously covered in Years 7 and 8.
