Nutritional Assessment Guidelines (Team Project)

Purpose

To evaluate, compare, and analyze menus from different agencies and suggest revisions for healthier food choices based on the cultural and age group. Students in a cultural concentration will use that specific cultural focus to complete this assignment. Those students in a cultural concentration (such as the Hispanic concentration) should be grouped together for this assignment. However, should the groups be mixed, all need to complete the RUA for the students in the cultural concentration.

Requirements

Students in a cultural concentration will use that specific cultural Focus to complete this assignment.

You will develop this Nutritional Assessment project addressing the population/culture in your area and another. ´or or example, if you are in the Hispanic concentration, your project might exam food choices in menus that are related to cultural preferences and traditions that contribute to the high rates of diabetes among Latinos.
