The other day in my nutritional therapy class we were discussing making meal plans for clients. My instructor showed us a plan she had made for an actual client. She planned out for him to eat 8 servings (lol) of fruit a day. She goes on to say, "That is a lot of fruit" and the something like "I don't know of anybody that needs that much fruit a day."I just bit my tongue you know? I didn't want to make a scene. Since a large banana is counted as 2 servings of fruit, I felt like saying "well gee, I just had 16 servings for lunch".By the way, I am doing a presentation on 80/10/10 for the same class in a couple weeks.I'll let you all know how it is received by my instructor and the students.

i was taking a nutrition class in new zealand and some of my teacher - especially this one - was really against fruit, and definitely tropical fruit. (she was a macrobiotics fiend).
anyway, i bit my tongue a lot but eventually i wrote this paper about the benefits of fruit and how we didn't need to worry about vitamins if we were consuming enough. it's posted on my gi2mr page. anyway...i failed it!! lol i didn't do what the teacher wanted and i got a 28%!!! for a lengthy paper, that is pretty horrible. i am no longer taking those classes and probably won't return. that was my choice. sometimes people just want to justify what they already think. but i hope you stick to it!!! a few will catch on to it and will be the better for it!
I would of gone to the higher ups, I've been to several universities in my past and dealt with so much BS it's not funny. I would of not gone to any of those schools had I know what I know now... Same with alot of things but I learned DESPITE the schools I went to.
Sorry you had to deal with the close minded or close hearted theres alot out there but we can help and have hope and intention and love.
