  The task that I will be giving you, should help you towards understanding the true meaning of nutrition. I have provided some websites for you to look at and observe, so gather as much information as you can because you will be needing it in the end. When you have all your data ready and written down (from each resources) I will give you a sheet with a food pyramid on it. I will be expecting you to create your own nutritional plan, explaining why you choose these particular foods and what benefits it have for your body. Remember the more information you have the better your pyramid will be. RESEARCH!
