    Concept: As we discussed yesterday food for the many, many, many years was for a

    simple purpose-to survive. But somewhere in our not too distant past food

    manufacturers and fast food companies have learned how to earn your dollars.through

    your brain. Hyper-palatable foods have inundated our society and our brains are left

    craving more. This has far-reaching implications on our health in terms of number of

    calories consumed and the obvious relationship to obesity. Is food addictive? If so what

    does this mean for our society? Or is it simply a matter of willpower?

    Goal: TSWBAT: Identify the role nutrient quality has on food selection. Analyze the

    research on why we choose hyper-palatable foods and their effect on the brain.
