Students examine the influences on popular body images in society. Games and discussions help identify the activity levels common among their age group.  Groups assess fat content in snack choices and explore the benefits of a diet low in fat and sugar. The importance of calcium intake is discussed through the use of models.  Students get a chance to taste and compare foods with varying amounts of fat.**
