Healthy Eating Exercise (15 Points)

Through observations with fellow classmates, I want you to examine how healthy male and female college students are eating. Your task is to conduct a small observational study on what types of foods male and female students eat around campus and then decide whether males or females eat healthier (or, if both eat equally healthy). You cannot question students about eating habits, nor to interfere with students’ eating habits, because such actions require IRB approval. You should operationally define “healthy” vs. “unhealthy” eating/foods, and observe how many males and females are eating healthy and are eating unhealthy foods. Make about one hour worth of observations with a partner (or two, maximum) and record your observations below.
