My critique of the $10 Challenge video
I think that the video was good but I also think that
Instead of the one boy only buying fruits and veggies
he should also show other foods that are nutrient
dense. I feel this way because I know eating the
same fruits and veggies all the time can get boring
and you need to mix it up a little bit plus if there are
new people like me just starting to eat Healthier, I
need to know what other foods are nutrient dense
that I can eat. I also liked that you can maximize
heathier foods for less money.
Other ways to compare food choices other than
the weight of the food.
1. Cost of the food
2. How the food is prepared (whether its fresh or
frozen and if you cook it or just reheat it)
