I learned a lot about "healthy" and "unhealthy" foods doing this project... Most food that society considers "healthy" really isn't and I'm glad I learned how to determine if it's not. My healthy food was a Quaker Chewy Granola Bar: Chocolate Chi...

My healthy food wasn't one that you would probably consider a really "healthy" food, but it is for me. Because of all my icky blood sugar issues, I try to find foods with a good amount of protein. This makes Austin PB crackers a pretty good choice...

This class was very important for me as a good lab to check what food is really good for athlete. As athlete you don't want too much calories from fats. It is more better if you have more calories from proteins. And also if you are the cross count...

Before this class I had always looked at the nutrition facts on foods, but I only looked at the calories. Every once in awhile I would look at the other facts, but I never REALLY looked at them. Since we did this lesson in class I'm really excited...

My healthy food was a Nutri-Grain Bar and my unhealthy food was mini donuts. The nutri-grain bar is a typical healthy food. The front of it says “ More of the Whole Grains Your Body Needs” which is most likely true. It is a cereal bar and is prod...

So, I'm gonna start with my "healthy" food. It was a banana! I don't eat bananas too often, but my dad buy's them a lot. They're always sitting on my counter. And honestly when I do eat them, the main reason is because it's my healthy choice over ...

my healthy food was shrimp. this food actually was healthy. it had a lot of protein and not a lot of fat or to many carbs. My unhealthy item was hot chocolate, it had a ton of fat. I need 1934 calories a day. I probably burn about this many a day...

The day before we had to bring in the two food labels, i was standing in my kitchen at home trying to decide what to bring. Every morning i usually eat a trail mix chewy bar. I decided to use this as my healthy food. When i looked at it, it looks ...

I added the Zo video...
I'm not happy with it, though. The quality pretty much sucks, and the video editor I was using didn't have as many cool features as another I had been using.
I hope you don't mind that I stole some of your Zo pics from Facebook...? I used the ones of Tabitha, Heather and I, and two of Terra and Shandis.

Yeah, I'm going to post it on this one...And that would be pretty awesome if it could go on the Zo site too. =] I'll finish it this weekend...Any suggestions for a song? I want one that describes the good times we had in that class.

=D That's alright. Any good comment is welcomed. The more the merrier.

By the way, I think I'm going to make a video of Zoology last year with bits and pieces of some of the dissections we did. Partially because I have no life, and partially because I love to make videos.

I appreciate your reflection in the final paragraph. It is a huge difference. It is big enough that is takes an adjustment period to fully take over your own learning... and wrestle it from those who would choose to spoon-feed it to you. Trust me,...

There is really no excuse, but I really had a tough time understanding the whole carbs section. (hence the reason why I slacked off and am now posting a week later..) Growing up, today's society has been put under the influence that carbohydrates ...

I personaly don't think anyone should have an abortion. It shouldn't matter if the child will have disabilities. Everyone should have a chance in life.

There are two different types of carbohydrates. There are simple sugars carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are like what you find in a sugar bowl or in suckers. Complex carbohydrates are found in breads and crackers. You...

Add information- When you take species out of the environment you also take away more then just that, each speacies contributes to each other. For example if you take a spider away you become over populated with species such as flies, therefor yo...

During this class periods (that I mostly missed) my personal goal was to learn how i can make my diet better then it is now. I figured out what specific parts of the ingredients are good, bad or which one you should look at according to your bodie...

The food that I brought was apples and Wheat Thins. The apple slices were healthy. I know this because it was 100% Carbohydrates and nothing else. I think that the carbohydrates came from fructose mainly. The Wheat Thins, then, were obviously the...

In the discussion i choose raisins and ho-ho's. I choose the raisins as the healthy food because it is a dried fruit so i figured it didn't have very much fat. I choose the snack cake as the unhealthy food because it had a large amount of calories...

Well my healthy food that I chose was an apple, because I usually eat around 2 a week so I figured that would be the perfect healthy food for me to look up. I figured it was healthy because for one it's a fruit, it's natural, and it doesn't have a...

I learned quite a bit today about "healthy" and "unhealthy" foods. From previously looking into this topic I learned that marketing plays a huge role on what foods we believe to be "healthy." My "healthy choice" is the perfect example. My healthy ...

I really didn't pay any attention as to how much i ate or what i ate. Being active i really didn't care it was food so i ate it I'm sure a lot of us do the same thing. I hear all kinds of diet ads saying the fast easy way to loose weight just do t...

According to the little BMR thing, I need 2041 calories per day. This opened my eyes because not everything you eat is healthy, or at least the stuff that you think is healthy really is not, and I like the fact that we learned how to calculate th...
