Nutrition is the art and science and study of nutrients for the physical body. This is a classic area of study for both Witches (who tend to approach it from the point of view of herbalism) and for the traditional native ancient Egyptian (who tended to approach it scientifically as well).
For information on a witchs diet, see the article Goddess Diet Plan.
school lunches
A 2006 study by researchers at Pennsylvania State Universitys School of Hospitality Management found that high school students make healthier food choices and are more satisfied by school lunches when the high school cafeteria staff post the nutritional contents of all lunch choices at the location where students selected entrees.
Giving students both choice and the information to help make the choice gives students feelings of empowerment and self-determination, according to Associate professor David Cranage, one of the authors of the study. the studys findings were published in the July 2006 issue o fthe Journal of Child Nutrition and Management.
