You need to look at conflicting nutritional information (like different articles about red meat) and decide which sources are credible, what their hidden intentions are, and how this affects New Zealand society's health and wellbeing. This means using critical thinking tools to spot when information might be misleading, then explaining why some advice is trustworthy and some isn't.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Apply your own nutrition knowledge to analyse the information in the resources provided, not just rely on what they say
- ·Identify and use red flags (like scare tactics, testimonials, vague science terms, sensational claims) to assess whether sources are credible
- ·Explain the underlying intention behind each piece of information—who benefits, who paid for it, what are they trying to make you do
- ·Analyse how the conflicting information affects New Zealand society's wellbeing holistically (physical, mental, social, spiritual dimensions), not just describe it
- ·Take a position on the nutritional advice and challenge at least one misleading message with reasoned arguments
AAchieved
You analyse at least two pieces of information, draw conclusions linking them to wellbeing, show some of your own nutrition knowledge, and identify the intent behind the sources.
