I need a discussion post completed by Wednesday. 

The content of your original post and responses to two classmates should be unique, original, and align with the discussion expectations. Repetitive (redundant) answers will not receive full credit.

Write in your own words and paraphrase content from cited sources–including Course Learning Resources–in a thoughtful manner. Content copied verbatim from websites, books, magazines, artificial intelligence tools (e.g., ChatGPT), and so on, will not receive credit. You are required to use APA formatted in-text citations and a reference list in each original post.

Use complete sentences, correct spelling and grammar, and well-written and organized paragraphs.

While there is no minimum word count, most students find they can convey their ideas in a descriptive, thoughtful way in about 75-150 words in both their original posts and responses to classmates.

You may select ONE of the following discussion topics (Options A, B, or C) for your original post. 

Option A: The textbook shares three ideas for decreasing your environmental impact in regard to protein consumption (see Unit 6 Section: “Protein Food Choices and Sustainability”).

1. What are the three ideas from our textbook?
2. Which of these three ways would you be willing to try?
3. Describe your current protein intake.
4. Discuss at least three ways that you could change your current protein intake to try this small shift in environmental impact.

 Option B: You work in a nutrition education office. A client has been diagnosed with atherosclerosis and isn’t sure what they can eat to help manage their condition. Describe atherosclerosis including how diet plays a role in the development of this condition. Provide your client with at least three nutrition-related suggestions that could help them slow the progression of atherosclerosis. Discuss the evidence for your nutrition-related suggestions. Cite sources. 

Option C: Visit the link for Dietary Supplement Fact Sheets from NIH (Week 4 Learning Resources > Page 5:  Additional Content for Real Life). Select one of the supplements and answer the following questions. Use and cite additional reliable and credible resources as needed.

1. What is the supplement?
2. Why did you choose this one specifically?
3. What are the typical uses?
4. What concerns do you have about this supplement?
5. What are food sources of this nutrient (if any)?
