00:00Another glorious day in Hunan, China. I just had a wonderful environmental health course in which I taught my students on food adulteration, chapter 9 of the Global Environmental Health book.
00:11And we had an insightful awakening whereby the students did some project-based learning. I had them take a food product, a food item, many of them chose potato chips or drinks or different food items, beef jerky, etc.
00:27And look at the packaging, the promising, the marketing, the benefits of the product advertised and then thereafter go to the ingredients on the other package side of the item and evaluate the ingredients and see if in fact there were ingredients that did not align with the food item.
00:48And in fact maybe were a chemical concoction and a lie and even the hazardous to their health and their well-being.
00:54And they came back and reported and presented in class and provided me the images of the food item and the ingredients and the nutritional breakdown.
01:05So it was very insightful, true, a project-based learning scenario, meaningful related to health and personal well-being and nutrition.
