I WANT TO SOMEONE CAN HELP ME TO FINISH THIS CASE STUDY BY A FOOD AND NUTRITION 305 CLASS
FN 305 Case Study # 1
Jenny and Travis are four months into theirfreshman year of college. The two have been friends since grade school and finda great deal of comfort in being able to get together for dinner.
Travis loves food, but rarely tries newthings. At first, the unfamiliarity ofthe school dining hall was scary, but once he discovered that he could get asteak and cheese sub seven days a week he was content. For Jenny the adjustmentwas much more difficult. Jenny has been a semi-vegetarian for many years, andthe vegetarian entrees cooked at the dorm are not particularly inspired. Although she eats fish, the cafeteria rarelyserves fish that isnt breaded and deep fried. Typically, Jenny sticks to salads with low fat dressing, low-fat yogurt,or a bowl of cereal with low-fat milk for dinner.
I am starving! she told Travis one nightat dinner. There is never anything Iwant to eat in the dorm and Im losing a lot of weight. This winter the colder temperatures arebothering me more than usual and I have been so tired. I cannot wait for thisweekend. I am going home to have a home cooked meal. Jenny could not help but smile as Travisseyes lit up at the mention of a home cooked dinner. You want to come? she asked, knowing theanswer would be a resounding, Yes.
When they arrived the house was filled withthe wonderful aromas of home cooking. There were hot rolls, salad with olive oil and vinegar, grilled salmon,and fresh chocolate chip cookies for dessert. They sat down to dinner and after just one bite, Travis decided this wasthe best meal he had ever had. He did not hesitate to ask for a second helpingof everything. Jenny ate a big meal as well. As she spread some margarine onher roll, she could not help but smile seeing her best friend enjoying hisdinner.
Then came dessert. Jennys parents servedthe chocolate chip cookies with some low-fat frozen yogurt, both of which weredelicious. Now I made the cookies with real butter, Jennys father remindedhis wife who had been cautiously watching her cholesterol. She was stuffedafter a big meal anyway, so she skipped the cookies. Still, she enjoyed watching the kids devourtheir desserts. Travis gracefully thanked Jenny parents for the meal on theirway back to school. Her parents told him he could come back any time.
