Healthy choices and barriers to nutrition education: economic and behavioral situation In this decade, the role of nutrition education has influenced schools and society due to the higher percentage of obesity and type II diabetes in the low education and low income group. Many researchers and the USDA assume that the cause of this problem is due to the price of food, availability of food, independence, lack of self-control, and social class. These findings have important implications for nutrition education teachers, parents, communities and government in providing food choice guidelines to acquire nutritional knowledge and skills for students. However, author Porter of “Barriers to Implementing Nutrition Education in Schools” argues that there are some barriers in the nutrition education program for both students and adults. While it may only seem concerning to a small group of members of the school community, it should in fact concern everyone who cares about their healthy choices in any social class. In this mapping paper, I will seek three main argumentative positions in the nutrition education program that concern health, education and logistics across all ages and all social classes. Almost all state school districts in the United States have nutrition education programs from the earliest grades through secondary school because they are designed to provide information, encourage behavior changes that promote the adoption of a healthy diet, and guideline choices. healthy food to maintain a healthy lifestyle and environment. Furthermore, the purpose of the Nutrition program is also to develop skills and behaviors related to areas such as food preparation, preservation and preservation; social and cultural aspect...... middle of the paper ......emphasized that the student should only deal with the main subject in addition to food education. They said that having a nutrition education program in school will not help prevent obesity in children. For example, people have the right to choose the foods they eat, and self-control also plays a role in the role of eating habits. Even if students who have already attended a nutrition education program, they could still eat what they want instead of thinking about their nutritional data or health problems when they are hungry. Because the food decision is based on emotional thinking rather than rational thinking. After all, it is not easy to follow the instructions or information provided by nutrition education, even if they have acquired the knowledge and skills. Therefore the economic researcher stated that having a nutrition education program is just a waste of time and money.
