Abstract:

The Dietary Guidelines recommend food choices to enhance wellness. A computer project was designed for lecture demonstration to illustrate nutritional consequences of typical food choices of the local consumer. The program was designed to involve consumers, in this case college students, by using their dietary patterns for demonstration and involving them in the food choice process. The ultimate goal was to present food recommendations to an audience in a way to empower them in the decision making process so they could appropriately act on their own health and nutrition problems.
