Overview

Fast food often provides a quick and inexpensive option for a meal, but may have detrimental health effects. In this activity students work in small groups to research the nutritional value of a meal from a fast food restaurant. They also explore the daily requirements for calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, sugar, and sodium and the risks associated with consuming too much of any one category. They wrap up the activity with a discussion on what they have learned and how it might influence their future fast food orders.
