Abstract: This is a food and nutrition project manual for 4-H'ers at the Junior High level. The project manual is broken into two separate sections: nutrition and health, and food selection and buying. In the section on nutrition and health, the manual focuses on those foods which should be avoided and those which should be included in a well-balanced diet. Exercises include listing favorite foods and analyzing their fat content by testing for greasy spots on brown paper, listing foods you most often eat an d why, and calculating your ideal body weight. Regarding food selection and buying, the manual stresses the importance of comparison shopping and not simply buying the most prominent name brand. Also stressed is looking at the label to see which foods are healthier. Last is meal planning by combining what was learned in the two sections.
