Diet inventory

Broad Objectives

• Experience the difficulties of analyzing data that have been collected by different people (and likely using slightly different data collection protocols).
• Learning about differences in diet.

Strategy

Students will have done a diet inventory in the week preceding this exercise.

During class, students will form small groups to analyze their pooled data.

A student from each group will then go to each group and get specific information (such as starch consumption)

Background

Readings establish that there are three general methods for doing a diet inventory:

• Measured
• Sampled
• Observed
