  2. Introduction • Little Timmy isn’t so little. As a matter of fact, Timmy is overweight and is one of the millions of kids in the U.S. who suffer obesity. Today, one in three kids are overweight or obese, nearly triple the rate in 1963. Childhood obesity is now the number one health concern among parents in the United States. Timmy needs some major help with his diet, and you can be the one to show him how. By completing this Web Quest you will understand the importance of each food group, how to create a plate for Timmy, and for the rest of your family.

  3. Task • By completing this Web Quest, you will obtain many valuable resources you can use to help you with your questions about nutrition. In this Web Quest, you will learn the importance of each food group. This includes how many servings you should consume per day, the nutrients you are gaining from them, and the health benefit from each one. After you learn about each food group you will enter a food of your choice into the food database located on www.choosemyplate.gov. Entering your food choices into the database will show the importance of journaling. During this Web Quest, you will complete fun activities based on the knowledge you already have about nutrition. You will also gain knowledge to help you answer questions about nutrition, and learn valuable information on portion sizes by completing a portion distortion quiz.

Timmy needs help finding out how many servings he needs of each food group to get healthier. He also needs to know the nutrients he is gaining from each different group. Lastly, Timmy needs to know the benefits each food group provides to live a healthy lifestyle. There are websites listed under each question to help you find an answer.
