Lots of factors affect people’s food choices and eating habits, including food preferences, beliefs about ethical food choices, allergies, or even basic food skills. Find a healthy recipe that you would recommend to a friend your age who is just learning to cook. If possible, make it for your family this week.

Questions for discussion:

  • Why would you consider this recipe to be healthy?
  • What factors might prevent a friend from choosing this recipe?
