Information to remember:
Americans suffer from chronic disease and obesity due to various factors. Obesity is a
growing concern in the United States because it affects more adults and children now
than it has in the past. With an increase in obesity, the number of chronic diseases is also
increased. This increase causes a rise in healthcare costs. There is a growing need to
address the health of the population and to take measures to prevent obesity and chronic
disease.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) dietary guidelines were established
by the government to set a standard for healthy living and to guide Americans on how to
properly eat. These guidelines have evolved and changed over the years due to current
research and changing health needs. Nestle (2013) explains in the introduction to her
book Food Politics that the guidelines portrayed by the USDA are influenced by the food
industry.
The definition and explanations of terms that are associated with nutrition are important
understand the different terms used in the field of nutrition to teach and promote health to
others. Basic terms associated with nutrition are also beneficial for the public to
understand as they work with health professionals and become educated on improving
diet and physical activity. Many health books, news updates, and product information
will use common nutrition terms. Schlenker and Roth (2011) in Williams Essentials of
Nutrition and Diet Therapy define common terms at the beginning of each chapter.

These terms will be used in the nutrition industry and throughout the health and wellness
profession.

Many factors affect food choices. Some people may choose food due to geographical
location and availability. Others choose food based on social situations, family cultures,
emotional state, media advertisements, or convenience. The food that people choose
largely determines their health status. The USDA establishes dietary guidelines to help
the general public. Lobbyists use various tactics to persuade political officials to make
decisions that will promote profit for the food corporations. Money, personal
interactions, lawsuits, and harassment are some of the ways lobbyists influence the
by the government may not always be in the best interest of the public.
Due to the various means of media access, consumers are misinformed about health
choices. There are many misleading food claims that are targeted towards susceptible
fitness enthusiasts, and those trying to lose weight are most susceptible to claims that
promise big returns. Faulty claims such as increased muscle growth, anti-aging,
increased stamina, and rapid weight loss are some of the ways people can be misled
(Schlenker & Roth, 2011). Consumers need to be informed so they can make educated
choices.

Finances are a concern for many Americans, and finding ways to reduce food costs is
beneficial. Schlenker and Roth (2011) explain that food costs can be lowered by
watching sales, cutting coupons, and calculating the unit costs of food when comparing
similar products. Additionally, food costs can be lowered by shopping at discount stores,
supercenters, farmers' markets, and food co-ops. Lastly, individuals and families can plan
what food they need, which will reduce impulse buying (Schlenker & Roth, 2011). With
extra time and planning, costs can be reduced and nutritious food can still be eaten.
Economics affects health because food resources may be minimized for those with a low
income. Lack of food and nutrients can cause malnutrition. Malnutrition can cause
various mental and physical ailments. Malnutrition is most commonly seen amongst the
minority, those who live on the street, the aged, or those with low income (Kaplan
nutrients and is high in added ingredients like fat, sugar, and salt. Nestle (2013) points
out that "nearly half of all meals are consumed outside the home, a quarter of them as fast
food" (p.19). There is a greater chance for obesity and chronic disease as more fast food
is consumed.

Foodborne illnesses cause almost fifty million people to get sick every year (Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). Food poisoning can cause people to experience
flu-like symptoms, require hospitalization, and even lead to death in extreme cases.
Pregnant women, senior citizens, and young children have an increased risk of bodily
harm from eating food that is contaminated (Kaplan University, 2008b). Being aware of
the potential sources of food contamination and practicing safe food handling can prevent
they are. Safe food handling should involve people washing their hands with warm,
soapy water before touching food. It should also involve not contaminating surfaces with
raw meats during the preparation process. For example, cutting boards should be
thoroughly cleaned after contact with raw meat or poultry, and fresh produce should not

allergens, and reading the instructions on how to store various products will help ensure a

GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism and is a form of biotechnology. The
term GMO is one that has become widely known because of controversy in the media.
Genetically Modified Organisms have their genetic makeup altered through lab processes

to produce desired outcomes. The issue of food being altered with genes or DNA from
other organisms has concerned consumers. There are potential risks and benefits of these

Environmentally, GMOs were created to require less pesticide and be resistant to weather
associated crop loss. Nutritionally GMOs were developed to benefit those that are
developed to provide more food since GMO crops were formulated to resist pests and
health and the environment. Human studies have not been done to evaluate the safety of
GMOs long-term. According to Schlenker and Roth (2011), the safety considerations
include a potential for allergic responses, damage to the environment, and a risk of toxic
interactions. Media coverage conveys concerns about antibiotic resistance, weeds that
are resistant to herbicides, and the fact that GMOs are not labeled. Many people want the

Encarta defines organic food as food that is grown naturally without synthetic pesticides,
growth hormones, antibiotics, genetically modified seeds and animal breeds, and
irradiation (as cited in Kaplan University, n.d., para. 10). Organic food is grown with
NUTRITION EDUCATION GUIDE 14
natural pest deterrents like ladybugs and praying mantises. Organic food differs from
consumer. People concerned about their health want to avoid added antibiotics,
increase the grocery bills and be a financial burden for families. Many people want to
limit their chemical consumption, but they feel they cannot afford to purchase only
organic food. Following the Environmental Working Groups (EWG) Dirty Dozen list
can help people consume fewer chemicals on the foods that have the highest residue of
pesticides (EWG, 2015a, para. 1). The EWG dirty dozen foods include: Apples,
peaches, nectarines, strawberries, grapes, celery, spinach, sweet bell peppers, cucumbers,
cherry tomatoes, snap peas, [and] potatoes (EWG, 2015a, para. 1). Consumers can
reduce the amount of pesticides they are consuming by purchasing the foods on the dirty
dozen list as organic and buying the rest of their produce as conventional, if need be.
Consumers have to be able to recognize what foods are organic and what foods are not.
Labeling laws exist that allow suppliers to certify their products as organic. The National
Organic Trade Association explains that there are certain criteria that must be followed to
meet the national organic standards, and a supplier has to be certified by a company
approved by the USDA (as cited in Kaplan University, 2008c, para. 10). Foods that have
been certified will carry the USDA certification seal. Just because something is organic
does not mean that it is healthy. Many foods that are labeled organic have high amounts
of sugar, fat, or sodium. The seal will not verify that something is healthy, only that

Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic due to a more sedentary lifestyle and
consumption of energy-dense food that is high in calories, fat, sugar, and sodium.
Obesity leads to chronic diseases and can reduce ones quality of life. Early prevention
of weight gain is the most efficient way to reduce obesity in the population.

believe they will lose a substantial amount of weight and look better with little effort.
Marketing claims can be misleading using tactics such as celebrities' success stories and
examples of extreme weight loss without data to confirm the actuality of the claims

false in marketing claims associated with weight loss products. The Federal Trade

Unit 2 Assignment 1
How does your diet compare to the current USDA Dietary Guidelines?
The diet displayed in the "Supertracker" screenshots from The United States Department
of Agriculture (n.d.) show a diet that closely resembles the USDA dietary guidelines as of 2010.
My diet consists of a large amount of fruit and vegetables and meets the requirement set within
the guidelines. It also reflects whole grains being consumed with the amount of carbohydrates
eaten. I do not eat processed grains, which is favorable. The amount of sodium in my diet
compares with what is recommended. My cholesterol level is also within the suggested range. I
also consume less than ten percent of my calories from saturated fat and replace them with
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. My fat intake could be a little bit higher, as
per the guidelines. My screenshots reflect a high sugar diet that does not compare to the USDA
guidelines, but it is high in natural fruit and not processed sugar. I am active, and I am not trying
NUTRITION EDUCATION GUIDE 25
to lose weight so do not limit carbohydrates or natural sugar. The screenshots reflect some
nutrients that are low as per the guidelines, but they are replaced with supplements. Lastly, the
beverages so am within this guideline as well. My diet is lacking a few nutrients from food and
is high in others but, for the most part compares to the dietary guidelines the USDA has
established.
What were the major influences on your food choices and your physical activity? For example,
The major influence on my food and physical activity choices are an internal motivation
to take care of my body. The driving force in the choices I make are attributed to a respect I have
for my body. I value the way I feel and love having energy and strength to do the things I want
to do. I despise being sick and unable to be active. I am not a couch potato and never watch
television. I like to be productive and make my life meaningful. I feel the daily food and
activity that my body receives will determine my long-term health. I want to be retired and still
exercising and experiencing life. I have a deep desire to do all I can to make sure the fuel that
goes into my body is in the purest and most undefiled form. I do not want to eat chemicals or
artificial ingredients that may harm my body and cause it to break down. I have not been
influenced to live this way by my family since they do not live the same way. I like to read
health and fitness information, so am sure this has had an influence on my choices. Another
influence has been seeing patients as a dental hygienist. I have had the privilege to see many
retired people who have taken care of themselves and are still able to do things they could do
when they were young. On the other side, I have also seen people who did not take care of their
health and are restricted from doing the things they hoped they would do when they reached
NUTRITION EDUCATION GUIDE 26
retirement. I am grateful for my health and want to take care of my body in the best way I can. I
will continue to educate myself on what is healthy and enjoy life as an active person.
What improvements could be made to the Dietary Guidelines to help consumers overcome
The dietary guidelines provide a framework for the general population on how to live a
healthier life. However, there are a few things that could be changed in the 2015 update to the
USDA dietary guidelines. They could place more of an emphasis on water consumption. They
do have a little information on it, but water consumption is very important, and most people
could use more water in their daily diets. Another thing that could be improved in the revision
would be a change in the label. It would be beneficial to have added sugar differentiated from
natural sugar present in whole food. Lastly, the 2015 revision could be improved by providing
consumers a list of foods that provide certain vitamins and minerals. One example would be that
the general population does not know what foods contain calcium other than milk. There are a
wide range of vegan sources of calcium too. A list of foods or a link to resources that contain
certain nutrients would be beneficial. The dietary guidelines for 2015 will be interesting to read
about when they come out, and I look forward to learning what they contain.
Consumers face barriers to eating healthy and being active. Each person has their own
personal reasons that something is standing in their way. A large factor in being healthy is
finding the internal motivation to want to live a healthier life. Motivational tools would be
helpful in allowing people to determine their own internal drive to want to be healthy. Some of
the motivational influences for people could be weight, health, appearance, healthcare costs,
long-life, energy, and sleep. Unless individuals discover their internal motivational factors, they
will have a hard time wanting to follow the guidelines. A series of questions could be provided
NUTRITION EDUCATION GUIDE 27
that help people reflect deeper. Also, sources to help people access personal trainers and health
coaches would be beneficial to motivation and having support would help remove barriers to
living healthy. In addition, resources for setting goals would be beneficial in removing barriers
to eating healthy and being physically active. People may become overwhelmed and need small,
realistic steps to achieve their desired outcome. Motivational tools, professional support links,
and goal setting resources would all be ways to help the public overcome what is standing in

The Seventh-Day Adventists are a community of religious people that practice specific
dietary habits as part of their culture. They have been studied and researched for living healthy
lives and for having low disease rates. Seventh-Day Adventists believe that people should take
care of their bodies and eat a healthy diet. Their cultural food preferences are based primarily on
vegetarian foods. They avoid consuming animals that have been killed because they do not want
to cause any suffering (Dray, 2013). Some Seventh-Day Adventists consume small quantities of
dairy and eggs. Their diet mainly consists of unprocessed plant foods such as vegetables, fruits,
grains, legumes, and healthy fats such as nuts and seeds (Seventh-Day Adventist Diet, n.d.).
Further, refined foods that are high in sugar and unnatural chemicals are avoided. They also
practice moderation avoiding too much food and abstain from alcohol and nicotine products
(Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 2015). These dietary food preferences are characteristic of the
Seventh-Day Adventist church and culture and are practiced within their communities, families,
