Each student will be asked to contribute to the discussion on one of the following questions, which will be chosen by the instructor from the following list: 

Think of a relative or friend that has diabetes.  What would you tell them about the diet they should follow to avoid their diabetes getting worse? 

Think of a relative or friend that has hypertension or has survived a myocardial infarction/heart attack. What would you tell them about the diet they should follow to lower their risk of a stroke or another MI? 

Think of a relative or friend that is really worried about getting cancer because it runs in his/her family. What would you tell them about the diet they should follow to reduce their risk of cancer? 

• Initial/Original Post
• Please post what you view as the appropriate responses to the above prompts. Your initial post should be 100-250 words. Please provide response with a clear, well-formulated thesis; sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, and spelling count. Support ALL posts with appropriate rationale and citations from readings; document sources using APA format.
• Responding to Others

Responses to at least two classmates’ postings should be approximately 100-200 words and should be thoughtful, substantial, polite and more extensive than a simple “well done” phrase or “I agree.” Consider points of agreement, disagreement, assumptions, and value judgments. You will be able to respond to others after you submit your initial post.
