Nutrition Counseling and Education

Skill Area: Community Nutrition and Community Education

Assignment Title: Article for the Lay Public

What I learned: 

This article helped me to research frozen entrees and see what people enjoy about them and what people do not enjoy. I also learned how to lay-out an article and interview different experts on the subject. I tried as hard as I could to be subjective and not put in my two-cents on the matter, I kept it professional. 

Reflection to assignment: 

This article was very fun to write because it allowed me to explore an area that was very popular among college students that were not interested in cooking for themselves. I was able to find out why students ate these frozen entrees and also discover the benefits and down-sides to eating the entrees.

Relevance to the profession: 

This assignment was beneficial to me for the dietetics profession because it improved my knowledge of writing an article for a newspaper or a magazine. This is beneficial  incase I need to write a statement for the public about the dietetics profession. I know I have the experience and capability to produce a professional article for the community.
