Judy

"Ever since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I've felt as if there's a "food cop" spying on me. Sometimes I feel like I have to look over my shoulder when I pull into the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot. My doctor says I'm supposed to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, brown bread, brown rice . . . I didn't bother telling him I don't like that stuff and I don't have the money to buy it or the time to cook it even if I did. Besides, that kind of diet is for movie stars. All the real people I know eat the same way I do."

Your Advice for Judy;

• According to what you learned in Chapter 1, is the diet Judy's doctor described just for "movie stars"?
• Of the many factors influencing why we eat what we eat, identify at least two that might be affecting Judy's food choices.
• If you learned that Judy had not finished high school, would that fact have any bearing on your answer? If so, in what way?
• Suggest at least 3-4 specific alternative eating choices (meal or snack ideas) as it relates to the case study prompt.
