Students listening to a presentation.

Bayport-Blue Point School District’s Food Service Director Christine Hahl spoke to high school students in the Bigger, Faster, Stronger or “BFS” and Spin Fusion classes about nutrition.

As both the district’s food service director and a registered dietitian, Ms. Hahl covered healthy eating, optimal nutrition, personal nutrition goals, the new food pyramid, supplements, vitamins and minerals, proper hydration, portion control, meal planning, fad diets and more in her presentation to students.

The students sampled protein shakes and sports drinks and were encouraged to take educational literature. The presentation concluded with a question-and-answer session and students were told about the many healthy diet and lifestyle resources available to them.
