Your task:
Evaluate the best foods to grab, based on nutrition, taste, storage, longevity and any other factors you think are important.
Evaluate the best foods to grab, based on nutrition, taste, storage, longevity and any other factors you think are important.
- Understand your options. Your Club leader will let you know of any limitations, but assume you don’t have any electricity, meaning that fridges and freezers won’t work.
- In your team, identify the factors you think will be most important, like nutrition, energy value, storage, how long they will last, and any other ideas. Use the food packaging provided by the Club leader to research packaging techniques and the nutritional value of different foods. Agree a priority order for your factors.
- Choose what foods you will grab!
- Make a list of up to 40 foods you would grab on a supermarket raid. Make sure these choices are in line with the priorities you decided upon earlier.
- Identify the five most important foods to grab if you don’t have much time. These should keep your group alive and full of energy for another couple of weeks until another raid is possible.
- Present your ideas, linking to your priorities. Explain why your five most important foods are a good choice.
