Summary of the Project

 

          This is a campaign to spread the knowledge of different food habits in Europe, a study of the

 

geographical, environmental, climatic, and historical factors which determine the choice of different

 

eating habits and a study of the best healthy correct European diets ."We are what we eat" is an

 

old proverb. Our nutritional status, health, physical and mental faculties depend on the food we eat

 

and how we eat it. Food quality can be considered as a complex characteristic of food that

 

determines its value or acceptability to consumers.In the teenage levels, young people know that

 

there are different foods-some "good" and some "bad." They also seem to understand that a

 

person's height and size can depend on what he/she eats.They also know that food is related to

 

growing and being strong and healthy, but they are not aware of the physiological mechanisms.The

 

problems linked to bad eating habits go from the high consumption of junk food and alcohol, to the

 

other extent of anorexia. We will guide students in studying, analyzing and learning the health

 

problems caused by bad eating habits in their schools and in their territories to prevent serious

 

diseases and eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia,diabetes, cholesterol and cardiovascular

 

problems.
