Global Nutrition Virtual Exchange

As an IUPUI student who has never been to England I was intrigued to understand what was normal to the students of Newcastle University. Through this experience I learned that the way we measure our food is very different compared to how the students in Newcastle University measure their food. I also learned that they way that they proportion their meal to be the healthiest is different compared the the MyPlate which is suggested for people in the U.S. to follow. For example, one thing that was different between the U.S. suggestions than the Europe suggestions was that the vegetables and fruits were their own categories for the U.S. but separate for the suggested intake in Europe.
