1.      What are the names of the physicians that care for Morgan?  What are their specialties (for example “Dr. John Smith, Pediatrician”) and what advice do they give Morgan at the beginning of the movie?  What advice or conclusions to they provide at the end of the movie?   (Remember, you are mentioning what each provider says….not okay to put “all the doctors said it was a bad idea” for example).   

2.       Why did Morgan go on this diet for 30 days?  What was his motive?   What was his health like at the beginning of the movie, prior to starting the diet?   What happened to his health as his diet continued (from his perspective, not the physician) and when his diet concluded?

3.       Name 3 things (in detail) that you learned from the movie and how it relates to this nutrition course (for example the role of fats, types of fats, etc.). 

4.      We had a discussion post(s) on corporate America and the food industry  (corn syrup, obesity, etc.).   How do those discussion(s) relate to this movie?   You also viewed a couple of TED talks for this course.  Do the TED talks relate?  How do you feel now, at the end of the course, about the food industry in America?  Okay?  Room for improvement?  Concerning?

5.      What was the biggest surprise in this movie?   How has your diet (or understanding of diet) changed since taking this course?

 Global Nutrition and EBP 

Chapter 14 is all about “Feeding the World.”  It discusses population growth and limited resources, hunger, food insecurities, and sustainable agriculture. The underlying cause of hunger and food insecurity is that food available in the world is not distributed equitably.  Use your own words.   Do not cut and paste information.   Respond with a meaningful numbered paragraph for each question.

Discussion (4 questions):

(1)Find an organization online that addresses equity in nutrition and summarize their efforts.  What is the name of the organization and provide their link/web address. 

(2)What are they doing to address these inequities?

(3)What other aspects of life can lead to vulnerabilities in attaining adequate nutrition? How?

(4)  What is EBP?   Explain the importance of EBP (evidenced based practice) in a college class such as nutrition and in science based industries such as nursing.   

Use your text book and reliable sources.  Use your own words.  I expect a meaningful paragraph response to each question asked.  Post/identify your answers in order as listed above numbered.  Separate paragraphs for each question.  Do not cut and paste.
