Discussion
This Discussion is a place for us to chat about current issues in nutrition. Your main post must be on time and needs to have greater than 250 words. Aim to have logical, thoughtful comments including details from the Discussion readings and where possible bring in your personal experience. You will also need to read at least two other student’s posts and reply to them. While there is no word count on the replies, they need to be more than “Great job”, “I really like what you said that”, etc. Make fun/thoughtful/interesting comments.
