Even though that we both live in the Bahamas, we still stick to our culture in terms of what we eat. For me (Ethan) I usually eat cereal or a bagel for breakfast, a sandwich, pasta, meat with a grain, or vegetables for lunch, and meat, a grain, and a vegetable for dinner. For me (Paola) I usually eat pan tostada for breakfast, and a typical Cuban dish such as arroz con pollo for dinner. Thus, are cultures and family traditions tie into our daily schedule and our nutrition.

#2. We think that because of sports we are influenced to stay fit, and keep a healthy schedule. For example, me (Paola) I play tennis, and me (Ethan) I play soccer and golf. In terms of nutrition, we are motivated to stay healthy after seeing the negative effects of unhealthy nutrition with other people like in America. Especially, if we don't have many options like Chipotle compared to the U.S.

#3 For Chipotle, what stood out for us was the high amount of calories that they had. However, the nutrition content is a lot higher than a burger from burger king. This is about 400 cal. from fat. But, are they good calories?

Your families culture impacts how you eat because you eat the traditional food from your country. This means that the influence from your family dictates if you eat the food from that specific culture.

 2. People have different perspectives based on their influences. For example, if you live somewhere with a lot of fast food restaurants (the U.S. for example) then you will be influenced to eat more of that. 

3. We were surprised that Chipotle had a lot of healthy choices. But, when we added chips to the menu we realized that they could drastically change your calorie count, sodium levels and fat content. We also noticed that Starbucks coffees and flavoured drinks have a much higher caloric content than we expected with all of the sweeteners that are used in drinks. ]]> 2016-12-06 16:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142069028 Fernie and Torzsas https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142069049 1. Our family's culture impacts how we eat. For example, Alex's family is partly Chinese , therefore he eats food such as Jioazi. Charlotte's family is Bahamian, which means they eat food like peas n' rice and Bahamian mac n' cheese.

2. We think that we have the perspective we do because growing up our parents would tell what foods we should eat and what foods are bad for us. They would tell us that carrots are good for our eyesight, meaning we grew up thinking they were healthy. Had our parents told us burgers were good for our eyesight, we would've grown up thinking those are healthy.

3. Dunkin' Donuts: We were surprised that the items with egg in had so many benefits. Charlotte thought they would be really artificial and unhealthy, so she was shocked when they ended up being on the healthy menu. We learnt that the egg and cheese wraps, english muffins, and lattes with skim milk are on the healthy menu.
     Starbucks: We surprised that the breakfast sandwich only had 3 grams of sugar in it. Alex thought that Starbucks could never be this healthy! We learnt that the breakfast sandwich, strawberry greek yogurt parfet, and bistro box are on the healthy menu.

For example people in the Bahamas usually eat sea food, as that is part of our culture. Another example is Finnish people eat Reindeer as it is again apart of their culture. 

2) Our parents are very interested in all of us eating healthy. We then learn this lifestyle from our parents, and P.E class and understand how importan nutrition is. 

3)I am surprised that all of the different foods didn't declare how many calories that had in them on the actual drink or menu in Starbuck, Chipotle, and Panera. For example that there are 450 calories in a frappucino.

Since we are both Bahamian we can agree that a Bahamian culture for food is fish, and things like peas and rice. It is a tradition, and some people stick to their traditions and are afraid of change. 
2) I think that since I am an athlete, I have a slightly healthier perspective on nutrition then a lot of people. In order to perform, I need to eat healthy, which I can do much more. 
3) 
We found it surprising that some food in places like dunkin donuts can be healthy, and under 400 calories! 

I also found it insane that there are 86 grams of sugar in a coffee coolatte 

When I go to dunkin donuts next I think that I will get these because they are probably the best for children. For children

Our picks: Old fashioned, powdered and cinnamon Munchkins; bowtie, Apple n Spice, cinnamon guava, glazed, jelly and sugared raised doughnuts; Original Hot Chocolate


For Chipotle I was really surprised that Kids tacos (build your own): Soft corn tortillas with chicken, black beans and tomato salsa; Mandarin oranges and organic milk is actually the healthiest for the kids in chipotle.

Also I didn't know that there are so many healthy options at chipotle.

I also was surprised when it said that an athlete should a burrito.

1) Cultures pass down many things, especially recipes and popular meals. Many of these meals were created before there was any knowledge about healthy living. This means that these meals are regularly un healthy and consist a lot of fat. Also, cultures like the latino culture, eat more than three meals a day, which means that they are ingesting significantly more calories, cholesterol, and fat.

2) Luke- My mom has had a large influence on me. My mom loves to run and eat healthy so I have just instinctively followed in her foot steps.
Theo- My mom and dad have a big influence on my nutrition, they always work out during the week. And my dad always tries to eat healthy to be in shape, and my mom always gives us healthy food.

3) Chipotle- With almost every food at chipotle with a drink is quite healthy. It really surprised us, because foods like sour cream, and chips are high in fat, and once you have gone through the calculator, it is apparent that there is no trans-fat at all and there are a lot of moderately healthy fats.
Duncan Donuts- This restaurant really surprised me. There is a large sliding scale of what is healthy and what is not.

Our family's cultures impact how we eat because since we grew up in an environment where lots of meat/seafood is eaten and also where lots of fried stuff is eaten, we eat these things as well, just not in huge quantities. Also, since both of us have an English background, we eat and enjoy lots of English foods, such as sausages, fruit pastels, and crumpets.

2.) Why do you think you have the perspective you do about nutrition?

I think that since our families have taught us to like to eat healthy things and to practice this, we have gotten used to eating these things, so that we don't think to eat unhealthy foods all the time everyday. Yes occasionally we will eat it but not all the time.

3.) Provide 3 examples of learning for each restaurant.

a. For panera bread, we thought it was very surprising and very good that in panera breads menu, by the end of 2016, they have estimated that there will be no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, colors and flavors in any of the foods on their menu.

b. For Dunkin Donuts, we thought that it was surprising that dunkin donuts's coffee wasn't actually bad and instead filled with calcium, however, there smoothies and frozen drinks are sugar filled with lots of added sugar and corn syrup.

c. For Starbucks, we found it surprising that when you order something at starbucks, you can actually change the ingredients or amount of ingredients in it to modify its sweetness, blandness, or healthiness in general.]]> 2016-12-07 16:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142340508 Hannah and Nicolas https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142340608 1) How does your family's culture impact how you eat?
Our families's culture impacts us because we are from foreign countries and we are used to eating different foods from our nationalities. For example, Hannah is from England, so she grew up eating foods such as fish & chips (battered fried cod and french fries). 

2) Why do you think you have the perspective you do about nutrition? 
Mainly because of your parents because they influence you to eat healthy and because they also feed you healthy foods as well. However, some parents have different perspectives on this and feed their children unhealthy food leading to obesity.

3) After using the CNN menu calculator, explain what stood out to you about 2/5 possible restaurants. Provide 3 examples of learning for each restaurant.
1- Chipotle: The thing that stood out the most in the Chipotle calculator was that the flour tortilla was 300 calories.

My family eats a large variety of food such as Bahamian, Argentinian, German, and Suisse. For example we eat pies and rice and macaroni and that is a Bahamian dish. Another example is a traditional Argentinian dish it is meat, in Argentina there is a lot of meat. 
2) In our families nutrition is very important and we are very often influenced my our parents. Because they tell us what is good to eat to be healthy. Many parents have different perspective on nutrition and think that their children have to have a very healthy lifestyle and also some parents don't have a lot of understanding with having a healthy lifestyle.
3) Chipotle: We though that what really surprised us is how many calories guacamole is and that the different tortilla have a big difference of calories. What surprised me was the chorizo and how many calories it was and the difference from all the other meats and tofu.

My family eats a mixture of foods. For example, We might eat an English breakfast but a Bahamian styled lunch. But, we don't follow a main culture for food, we eat a wide variety of foods from different cultures. Such as American, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese etc.
2) In our families nutrition plays an important part. Our mothers 'try' to give us nutrious food that will sustain our energy us throughout the day. (Rhianne) Also, my mother specifically gives me vitamins everyday to ensure that I get my vitamins because I'm vegetarian.
3) From Chipotle (Rhianne). I got a  flour, sofritas, white rice, black beans, fajita vegetables, fresh tomato salsa. This all totaled up to:
21.5 | 820 | 213.5 | 25.5 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 2570 | 122 | 21.5 | 8.5 | 26.5 | 27 | 72 | 45 | 52

For example, Isabella parents' are from two different cultures. If Isabella stays with her father she eats more German food, but if she stays with her mother she eats more Honduran food, but also recipes that she has picked up along the way from living in different countries as a foreign service officer. 
2) I think that I have the perspective that I do about nutrition because my parents have always made nutrition a priority in our family. Nutrition has always made nutrition a big factor in the meals that we eat, the exercise that we get and the co-curriculars that my sister and I do after school. 
3)  1. Dunkin Donuts: The lowest calorie munchkins are the old fashioned, powdered and cinnamon with 60 calories and 1.5 grams of saturated fat. 2. Starbucks: A sweet treat from Starbucks doesn't have to have an absurd amount of calories. For example a vanilla crème with nonfat milk has 100 calories and 25% of calcium]]> 2016-12-07 16:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142340842 Ben and Emiliana https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142341536 1) (Ben) In my family I eat a lot of Bahamian food and Bahamian food has a lot of grease and fat in it. Like jerk chicken and mac and cheese is very fatty. (Emiliana) My family is from 2 different cultures which is why we eat a variety of vegetables, dairies or proteins etc. It impacts the way we eat because we balance out our types of foods like beans, plantains, or fondu which has a lot of cheese involved. 

2) (Ben)Because I live in the Bahamas and my family is Bahamian, so I have a type of way that I eat. I know that Bahamian food has a lot of fat a and grease in every plate that they serve you. (Emiliana) I think I have the perspectives about nutrition because of the way I have been taught to eat. My family has always taught me to love fruits and vegetables not only because they are healthy but because they make you have more energy and also taste good. 

3) What surprised me on Chipotle was that only one burrito bowl was 2,715 with chips and guacamole on the side. I never thought that a single bowl could contain this much calories as it also has some healthy foods such as meat and chicken. ( Ben ) What surprised me the most was the amount of caffeine in the Frappuccino. It has 100 mg of caffeine. ]]> 2016-12-07 16:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142341536 Yonick and Thorin https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142341773 1) How does your family's culture impact how you eat?
In my culture, there is no such nothing as vitamalt. Also in my culture many fast food places are used and available. In my culture I would say that there is more fat foods. Most people like junk food and don't worry about there diet.
2) Why do you think you have the perspective you do about nutrition?
I get my perspective from my culture as well as friends and family.
3) After using the CNN menu calculator, explain what stood out to you about 2/5 possible restaurants. Provide 3 examples of learning for each restaurant.
An example in Starbucks "a tall (12 ounce) brewed coffee has 5 calories, and the same size brewed tea has zero calories. The same size nonfat cappuccino has only 60 calories, mostly from the milk." That is a lot of calories for a drink. Another example that we found interesting and that we learned it that "Most hot espresso beverages contain three, four and five pumps of syrup for tall, grande and Venti, respectively." With all of the information that we found out this one is the most surprising to us "a grande (16 ounce) vanilla latte with whole milk has 290 calories and 11 grams of fat (6 grams saturated). But the skinny version, with nonfat milk and sugar-free syrup, has 120 calories and 0 grams of fat."]]> 2016-12-07 16:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/adegiorgio/dr2kfaybd0eo/wish/142341773
