Nutrition is the scientific study of the relationship between what is eaten (diet) and the state of health or condition of well-being to survive, regenerate, maintain function, and develop structural foundations as evidenced by stunted physical and intellectual development.

Malnutition (bad-nutrition) is the condition of an improper or inadequate diet where a nutrient is over or underabundant. For instance, lack of breastfeeding is a leading cause of malnutrition in infants.

Famine, widespread scarcity of food resulting in malnutrition, starvation, epidemics and death, can be caused by environmental events such floods and droughts, economic disruptions, and political factors like armed conflict. It is estimated that more than 840 million people in the world are malnourished from lack of calories, 799 million of them live in the developing world and more than 153 million are children under the age of five.

The “diet” of a nation or region is based on the complex interaction of food supply availability with cultural preferences and traditions for preparation and consumption. Calories, the unit of measurement for energy stored in food as a combination of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, organic acids, polyois and ethanol, is only one way of measuring the quality of nutrition, and may leave out valuable considerations.

Losing or gaining one pound a week depends on either cutting or adding 500 calories per day (one pound = 3500 calories÷7=500). If you cut 250 calories from your daily intake and burn another 250 calories a day, you will lose one pound a week. Burning calories can be as easy - take a walk with your spouse, child, friend, or dog; using the stairs instead of the elevator; parking farther from the store or walk to the store; losing the remote control to change the channel; doing garden work. The American Academy of Family Physicians tells us that it is an accumulation of lifestyle habits that have the long term effects.

LESSON IDEA - Have your students calculate how many ounces of grain would be required for the classroom, the school, the families of students, and the community, that would satisfy a daily 2,000 calorie diet. For instance, MyPyramid.gov recommends 6 oz of grain each day. Then research where this food is grown, how it is produced and marketed, the cost of feeding various size populations, the resources needed to feed 6 ounces of grain each person.

Handy Portions

When thinking about portions of the food you eat use this "handy" guide to help you. - 3 oz. of meat=same size as the palm of your hand; 1/2 cup cooked vegetables or past=same as one cupped hand; 1 oz. of cheese=same as length and width of you thumb; 1 teaspoon=same as the tip of your thumb; 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables of spinach=same as two cupped hands; 1 tablespoon=same as three thumb tips; 1 cup of dry cereal/popcorn or 1 medium piece of fruit=same as the size of your fist.

LESSON IDEA - If you are using this poster with younger children have them compare the size of their hand with an adult. Have samples of nonperishable food (pasta for example unless you want to share other food items as part of the lesson) and measure the portion in an adult hand, a child hand and a measuring cup.
