Assignment Task: Search the Internet to find a website that offers nutrition information. Read the information at the site and identify any "red flags" for misinformation (see the list of characteristics in the passage called "Look for Red Flags" in Section 2.3 of your text). Evaluate the quality of the information presented on the website. Write one page (minimum) typed summary (double spaced) about the characteristics of the advertisement. Use 12-point Courier font or a similar font. Be sure to name the product, manufacturer, etc., and guarantees offered. Discuss whether the use of this food or product might pose a danger to one's health. Identify the URL of the site and its sponsorship; summarize the information, including health-related claims; evaluate the site for bias, and search the site for any disclaimers. You are to determine whether the site is a reliable source of nutrition information and explain why it is or is not. The same results might be reached through proper exercise, fitness, or nutrition. Include the cost of the product, cost per serving if available, and any shipping costs.
HINT: Be sure to credit any websites you use as a reference.
