Instructions It's not necessary to go through the whole lecture before doing this assignment. What I want you to think about is that not all fat is bad. What's important is the type of fat. This assignment has 3 parts so you'll be turning in 3 sections in your paper. PART 1: Trans-Fats a) Read these articles by WebMD about trans-fats. They are easy to read and have many helpful tips for you. https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/where_are_trans_fats_hiding https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/finding-the-best-trans-fat-alternatives https://www.webmd.com/diet/low-fat-diet b) Write a paragraph about what you learned and now know about trans-fats. PART 2: Cholesterol a) Go to the American Heart Association's website to learn about cholesterol: What is Cholesterol? (https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/cholesterol/about-cholesterol). There are some very helpful links on their right menu bar. Go see! b) Write a paragraph about you learned. ******************* PART 3: Portion Sizes a) This is a fun link about portion sizes and loaded with lots of good info. **** http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/wecan/eat-right/portion-distortion.htm

*******************
This homepage is pretty "blah", but I want you to do the TWO Portion Distortion Quizzeslinked lower down on the page. (I couldn't link the 2 Portion Distortion slideshows separately here like I could in previous semesters. The easiest way I have found to view these 2 slideshows is to click on the pdf file and then you can scroll through the slideshows that way. )
b) Write a paragraph about what you learned about portion sizes.
***So to summarize, in this assignment, you learned about trans-fats, cholesterol, and portion sizes, so you'll be sending me at least 3 paragraphs total.***
