Health Education, Thursday, Period 3

"Let's talk about nutrition," Don said to his students today. "Now, this is a complicated area of study, because scientists are discovering new things all the time, and there's a lot of bad information out there besides. Also, everyone's nutritional needs are different, whether that's from one human to another or from one species to another. Thor, for instance, needs to eat a lot more calories than I do, because the Aesir are three times as dense as humans, and that's a lot of mass to maintain. But for the most part, you should try to eat a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats. You should try to eat some plants. Plants are good for you. Ideally you should eat less processed foods, things that are made from recognizable ingredients, but I feel like a hypocrite telling you that after the way I ate during my residency."

Don passed out a handout on the subject. "There's more in depth information here, but again, these are more rules than guidelines. You need to do what works best for you. But eat some plants, seriously."

He didn't mention scurvy, which may seem like an oversight to one of you.

"What about citrus? Does that count as a vegetable?"

No, Flint.

"No, citrus is a fruit," Don told him, "but fruit falls under the same umbrella as vegetables in 'eat some plants,' and citrus has a lot of health benefits. It's full of vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system." And prevent scurvy.

"They travel well, too," Flint said, which was one of his primary requirements for food.
