Essentially none.

Okay, I can see how you might think algebra is something you can get by without (it's not, but work with me)--NUTRITION??? So not optional.

One of the courses my mother teaches at medical school is nutrition, and she gets students who gripe about having to learn that stuff. It's not just useful for doctors, dammit! It's useful for people. Doctors will just get the why of it more easily/in more detail.

My friend is a nutritionist who regularly gets patients referrrals from a doctor. Her doctor friend said that she really feels like they got hardly any nutrition educaiton in med school and doesn't feel able to cousel her patients on making dietary changes.

I should say, in my experience, basically none. Because people's experiences vary so widely by state and district and every other level where curriculum decisions are made. I seem to recall the food pyramid, but that's about it.

I need to put in laundry, but I still feel like at this point I'm just focused on staying awake for another five hours.

All the nutrition stuff I remember was about the Canada food guide, but it definitely didn't go into any detail.

And now I think the food pyramid is a load of shit anyway -- grain industry propoganda.

There might have been a little nutrition in one of my health classes, but it wasn't much. It's one of those things that can trigger the "don't tell me how to raise my children" response, I think. Though I've seen news articles that imply that there's more of a push to teach nutrition today than when I was in school. It's just rumor afaik, though.

I think we were supposed to learn how to eat from PSAs in Saturday morning television.

no nutrition in my schooling, that I remember.

They seem horribly hard to me

one is writing a list of things with some descriptions (I will fill in stuff like measurements later), the other is moving small things from a bag about 5 feet from me to a flat spot, shooting them - then later if I am still awake, uploading the pics and writing descriptions. plus a money motivator.

ita - any veggies you do like? mushrooms, asparagus, spinach ?

Huh. Today would be a brilliant day to do laundry, wouldn't it?

I don't think I will, though. Today is sorely needed for not doing anything of moment at all. No work, no exercise, no social engagements. Not even a movie, even though I'm curious about that Prada one. TV, reading, interweb, eating. That's all.

It's my gift to my head. Brain. Skull. Whatever's giving me the headaches. Irritatingly I've had another upswing in the concussion site hurting. I'm so over that concussion. I have no words.

I think I'm buying a fan. Tomorrow.

Not even a movie, even though I'm curious about that Prada one.

It was super cute, I tell you what.
