What’s In Your Food?

Dr. Karen Robbins, Registered Dietitian and Professor at the University of Hawaii Maui College, was a guest speaker at a recent Maui Peer Support Group meeting. She showed the group what 5 lbs. of fat looked like and also the amount of sugar in a 44 oz. can of soda. She facilitated a fun game for the group to guess how many calories were in the different food items. It was a very informative presentation and it was enlightening to tangibly see the amount of fat, sugar, and calories that we unconsciously consume.
