Fast food restaurants continue to come under fire regarding the unhealthy nature of the menu.  Is it even possible to “eat healthy” at a fast food restaurant?  Your challenge is to find out.  Go online and access the menu for your “favorite” fast food place.  Construct a meal plan for the day that does the following:

1) Meets your daily recommended calorie intake allowance.

2) Meets your requirements for being tasty and palatable.  (e.g.  would you actually order it?)

3)  Post your meal plan using the following:

a) total calories

b) total calories from fat, carbs, and proteins

c) total sodium intake

d) total saturated fat intake (g)

You can also use https://nutritiondata.self.com/ to find information if other sources fail.  

Lastly, VOTE!!!  I’d like to see which meal plan gets the most votes.  Voting is based on the “I’d eat that” scale

What is the responsibility of the health care manager regarding public health ethics and social responsibility? Provide an example.

What is the biggest issue you believe you may face as a health care manager?

This week’s first discussion forum will focus on the population of abused individuals. Abuse is a pervasive problem in our society. Although the forms of abuse, as well as the intensity and duration can vary from case to case, each abused person is tasked with dealing with the scars left from the abuse.  As you can imagine, this task can be very challenging to say the least. Using research to help you form an opinion, which form of capital (social or human capital) do you feel will have a greater influence over resources accessible to the abused?  Discuss which form of capital you would rely on for emotional support and help through difficult times if abused.  Explain your rationale. Chapter 3 of the course text defines these terms in more detail.

Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length. Your research and claims must be supported by your course text and at least one other scholarly source.  Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
