=Introduction= Due to recent budget cuts, the new president of the USDA has decided to get rid of the nutritional guidelines and support tools found on the USDA website. He claims that the guidelines are useless and everyone should just "eat healthfully". To make things simple, he suggests that ALL people should eat 1800 calories. As a nutrition expert, you know that nutritional needs can vary greatly for individuals. You have agreed to go on a radio show to talk some sense into the president of the USDA and will convince him that the guidelines are useful and necessary.

=Task= First choose the character to you want to be. Pick someone in the health field such as a nutritionist, nurse,doctor, or personal trainer. (If you have another idea for a character,check with the teacher first.) Then plan out what you want to say to the USDA president when you go on the radio show. You must be very clear about how nutritional needs can differ, and how the current nutritional guidelines help people make healthy choices.You will need to do some research on current USDA guidelines so you can back up your argument.

=Conclusion= Congratulations! You were able to talk some sense into the president of the USDA and convince him not to abolish the guidelines. Thanks to you, Americans will have access to nutrition guidelines to help them live healthier lives .Share this information with a friend or family member to help them become healthier!
