2-hour ansewer #3 blog 18

1.)what is most important in creating a healthy mexican dish whiloe maintaining it's authenticity?

2.)changing a few things in the recipies will cause a healthier change in the nutritional input in the body.

3.)things aren't supposed to be taken out of a persons diet (what they naturally eat)but changed to eventually change to a healthier direction, diets don't work when people take out stuff from their meals the body will attempt to supplement this a resistance to change (happens in chemestry too.), altering the food is a method pushed by many diet specialists (ie weight watchers) .
4.)an audio/video called "hunger for food" .
5.)I plan to go deeper into finding the nutritional basis for these foods

independent component 2 plan approval

1.)I plan on continuing to cook with mom and grandma to learn more about the cooking of authentic mexican food, I will then input the ingredients on to a nutrition site that will give feed back on the nutrition of the dish from the results I get from this I will analyze the nutrition of the dish from there the nutrition label format will illustrate just how healthy the dish is. After I get what the dish offers I can determine with the research I have whether the food is ok by it's self or if it needs to be mixed with something else, in the cases of the corn products (such as masa, ground cornmeal, etc..) they hold more nutritional value in Mexico because they soak their corn in "lime" water, so the source I use assumes I didn't soak the corn first therefor removes an amount of niacin one of the proteins needed by the body also listed
2.)through cooking with mom and grandma I plan on gaining more experience from them and through practice I will know more about mexican cooking with the nutrition site I will see the nutritional benefits of the dish. The nutritional value results will help me brainstorm how to improve the dish nutritionally.
3.) My EQ is correlated with this because the nutritional rating will cause me to evaluate the nutritional state of the dish. this paired with the cooking with my grandma and mom will pretty much address the two main parts of the EQ.
