Lаurie (51 yeаrs оld, pоst-menоpаusal, height 5'5", weight 138 pounds) works full time as a teacher. Each day she eats a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, and takes a lunchmeat sandwich and diet soda to work for lunch. When she gets home from work she fixes dinner for the family, which generally consist of meat, enriched breads or pastas, and dessert. Laurie uses many convenience foods such as helper mixes and canned soups, plus condiments to enhance the flavor of the grains. The family drinks bottled water or soda with their meals. They eat little produce, because they believe that America’s soils are depleted, resulting in foods that aren’t very nutritious. They keep cookies, candy, chips, crackers and similar foods on hand for convenient snacking.
