Discussion Post: Nutrition and Drugs
Setting:
You have been given some startling news! Upon entering your office as the new assistant director of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), you are confronted with the following headline:
"Global citrus crop devastated by lack of bee pollination!!"
(That's okay by me, I don't eat honey anyway...you might think.)
The crops immediately affected are the following:
Lemon Lime Orange Grapefruit
You are faced with a serious problem! Using your brain, whit, and possibly charm, find out what other alternative crops will be used to supply the global vitamin C need.
• List four alternative crops that provide an equivalent amount of vitamin C, fiber, and carbohydrates as the citrus listed above.
• Describe how these sources will be produced and distributed. If they don't exist, or not in sufficient numbers, then tell me how you intend to solve that problem too!
• List the nutrient content of the four food sources you choose and compare them to the ones listed above.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
