Skill Area: Nutrition Counseling and Education
Assignment Title: Say Yes to the Feast!
What I Learned: In this assignment I learned how to write a nutrition education article for the general public. I interviewed two nutrition experts on my topic, along with a fellow student of an unrelated major to gain a better perspective. I learned that writing an article for the general public could be challenging, as you must keep the information as basic as possible.
Reflection to Assignment: This assignment allowed me to be creative and really have fun with the project. It also taught me that a nutrition professional must be cautious when writing an article for the public in order to not overwhelm the audience or write at too high of a reading level.
Relevance to the profession: In writing an article for the public, nutrition professionals should make sure the topic is interesting and relatable. It is also important that the information provided is relevant and current. In order to promote nutrition-related behavior change, nutrition professionals should engage the desired audience.
