Salt, Sugar, and FatObj: 9.NPA.1.1I will attribute the prevention of chronic diseases to healthy nutrition.
Obj: I will examine the consequences to eating a diet high in fat, sugar, and salt
Review Food Groups
Refined vs. Whole Grain review
As a class, separate the magnet labels based on whether they are a whole or refined grain.
Read & Reflect
Scholar:
• Why do you think most restaurant food is high in fat, sugar, and salt?
Collegiate:
• What are the consequences to eating a diet high in fat, sugar, and salt?
Genius:
• What are the biological and/or physiological reasons why people overeat especially foods high in fat, sugar, and salt?
Article: Why We Overeat• Q: What does the science say? Is it sugar or fat or the flavor that drives
intake?• A: We gave rats a series of solutions containing combinations of sugar, corn oil,
and vanilla, and found that sugar was the prime driver. But when you add fat to sugar, you increase the drive.
• Q: The rats pressed a lever more times to get it?• A: Yes. If you combine sugar and fat, animals will work harder to get it. They'll
want it more. If you give sugar alone, you'll get some dopamine spike, but if you put sugar and fat together, you stimulate more brain activation. And we know that humans prefer sugar mixed with cream more than the same amount of sugar mixed with skim milk.
• Q: So eating these foods changes your brain?• A: Yes. Every time you get cued and consume the stimulus, you strengthen the
neural circuits, so the next time you're more likely to do it again. Strengthening those circuits is what we define as learning, even though it's not the kind of conscious learning we think about.
• Q: So we get a fatty, salty food like french fries smothered in cheese and bacon, which adds even more fat and salt?
• A: Right. They've optimized those ingredients to maximize the drive for food. We used to eat for nutrition--to satisfy ourselves. Now we eat for stimulation. We're getting cued. We get that arousal. That attention. That release. The food isn't satisfying us. It's taking us on a roller coaster ride.
Food Stimulation and Brain Activation!

Reading Food Labels
Option 1: With white boards
With a partner, write down the “good stuff” and the “bad stuff” on separate boards.
Option 2: Class analysis
As a class, analyze the good vs. bad health content of each food label

lettuce, pickle, tomato)
