Food &

Nutrition I
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for students who are interested in understanding the principles
of nutrition and in maintaining a healthy life style. Attention will be given to the selection
and preparation of food and personal health and well-being.

Helping you achieve

your nutritional goals
Assignments should be turned in
on time. All assignments can be
turned in for full points until the
start of the next time class is held.
Late work will be docked 50% the
first day it is late, and an additional
5% each day it is not turned in.

My goal is to see
each of my students
succeed. If you find
yourself struggling
with this class, I
encourage you to
talk to me.

To insure good health: eat lightly, breathe deeply,

live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and
maintain an interest in life. ~William Londen
