The next time Woodland Middle School students Natalie Insinna and Aleena Manji purchase food, they will be experts in analyzing their meals’ nutritional guidelines. The two seventh-graders were recently named grand-prize winners in the Long Island Family and Consumer Sciences Challenge Meal at the Mall Competition.
Using their knowledge of nutrition and meal planning, while employing mathematical skills, the students worked together to analyze data provided by four fast food establishments at the mall. They competed against their peers from across Nassau and Suffolk counties and will share a $100 cash prize.
The Meal at the Mall Competition is sponsored by Family and Consumer Sciences. Their goal is to help individuals make healthier food choices.
