Take 5 For Life
On April 29, 2009, I went to Carrie Gosh Elementary School for a site visit. A nutritionist from the “Take 5 for Life” program came to educate the fifth grade classes on good nutrition.
Take 5 For Life
She held up a model of a hamburger. She took out a spatula and loaded the burger with five tablespoons of mayo and compressed the meat and the mayo between two buns. Actually seeing her applying all the mayo made my stomach turn. She explained to the children that if they would ask for less or no mayo, and would include the lettuce and tomato with the meat this would enhance the nutritional value of their burger.

She then proceeded to show the children how much grease is in a bag of fries. The sight of the lard was tough to take. The nutritionist suggested the children opt out of eating the fries and choose to eat the slices of apples dipped in caramel.
