*How will this affect what you eat when you stop at a fast food restaurant from now on? Will you consider going easy on the supersizing, maybe ordering an alternative side that has better nutritional value than french fries?  Will you choose one restaurant over another because of the gained insight from the research formulated in this lesson?  Will you spend the extra 5-10 minutes to prepare something more healthy at home? Remember these questions and your findings when you get to college.  College food, as well as the multiple pizzas you may be ordering, can really take a toll on your health and overall weight.
