In their Nutrition Unit, OHS students are learning about processed food and how it does not break down in the body as quickly as fresh food. The classes investigated and analyzed McDonald's Big Mac/fries and The Minier Tap’s Burger/fries to compare and contrast the breakdown of the ingredients over a period of three weeks.
Results = The Taps’ food broke down quicker which means they are less processed and there are less preservatives in them. Students decided this is just another reason to support local!
