How good is your diet? Find out with this simple nutrition quiz.......Make sure you snip your results for a portion of your assignment.

The 40 questions will help you focus on the key features of your diet. The answers will be assigned a point value that will provide you with a rating of your diet at the end of the survey (recognize there is debate in the nutritional and scientific community on some of these questions).  Pay attention to items that you do not know or maybe don't even understand (what is a cruciferous veggie anyways?) We will discuss them.

The Grand Total rates your overall diet on a scale from "Super" to "Oh Boy!." 

The quiz focuses on fat, sodium, sugar, fiber and vitamins A and C. It does not attempt to cover everything in your diet. Also, it doesn't attempt to measure precisely how much of these key nutrients you eat. What the quiz will do is give you a rough sketch of your current eating habits and, implicitly, suggest what you can do to improve them.

Finally, don't despair if you get a less-than-perfect score. A healthy diet isn't built overnight.  Changes are made gradually through a mix of education, will power and effort....
