Due Thursday 

This week, we will investigate the process of digestion and the ways that our bodies balance energy and regulate weight.

• What have you learned this week since beginning your learning activities?
• Let's say you and a friend eat the same foods in the same amounts for the same period of time, but only one of you loses weight. How is that possible?
• How does obesity relate to type 2 diabetes, heart problems, or blood pressure issues?
• Do you think obesity is a global problem?
• What advice would you give to someone who wants to lose weight by reducing their caloric intake, but isn't sure where to start?
• Consider citing or including references to relevant, current news sources that interest you and support your post and responses.
