Eat This Not That!


Mr. Kohstall's class has been reviewing food groups and what is an appropriate diet. The Eat This Not That series has been his catalyst for the class discussions. These books are by David Zinczenko who is an author for a popular men’s magazine. His books were discussed as part of a topic of one of the recent Oprah Winfrey shows: The Causes of America's Obesity Epidemic - Oprah.com . You can view a list of his books at http://www.amazon.com/David-Zinczenko/e/B001ILKBL8 .
Students have been creating healthy menus based on their body mass indexes, making movies of food groups and learning about eating disorders in this class in the Goal Rush Library Media Center.

I just wanted Mr. Kohstall to know that I LOVED the Eat This Not That books at the library.
If you have never checked out the Eat This Not That books at the Library that Mr. Kohstall has been talking about, you are missing some good reading! There are 4 in the series and they help tell you what is in your food. For Example, the book called “Eat This Not That:Restraunt Survival Guide” tells you the worst food in America that you can eat is the Outback Steakhouse Baby Back Ribs! These things have an impressive 3,021 Calories, 242 grams of fat, and 4648 mg of sodium! That is double your daily amount!

Also, there is one that tells you what is healthier to buy at the grocery store called “Eat This Not That: Supermarket Survival Guide”. From frozen pizzas to bread, it will tell you everything that is healthy to eat, and things that you just might want to stay away from. For other facts about the food you eat and ways you can have an alternative, check out the Eat This Not That books at our Goal Rush Library. I bet you’ll be surprised!
