The Dangers of Obesity, ABC News Medical Minute http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dangers-of-obesity/id117218880?i=85880519

I will use the vidcast as a lead up to our nutrition unit in 10th grade Health. It is only 1:20 long so it is a great conversation starter before we begin the unit. It will give the students a chance to start discussing why they think obesity is a growing issue in our society. Some questions that can be discussed from the video is why are women more commonly affected by a larger waistline and obesity? The video talked about guidelines to follow. What do the students think are some guidelines to follow for nutrition? This video is great way to start discussion before the unit is even started.
