Good Food Eating PPT/Videos

As a part of a Nutritional Advisory Council, we need to be aware of what is "good" food and what is "bad" food. As you can tell, we're trying not to say the "H"- word as to many that means tasteless or unappetizing. Today, we are taking a look at what makes food "bad" and ultimately it comes down to how much they are processed - how much they are squeezed, pulled, freezed, mixed with chemicals, sugared, etc. We also took a look at a few videos about how some processed foods, like hot dogs, are exactly made - warning: it's gross.
