A topic in nutrition that interest me are vitamins. I want to learn more about them and how it contributes to the health of the body in a more specific way, and how it can affect the body if a vast amount is consumed. I want to learn how cooks and chefs can extract vitamins and nutrients from the ingredients to the fullest so that customers can have a healthy meal. Another topic I would like to learn about in this class is fat. Fat can be a tricky thing to control when it comes to a healthy meal and dishes created in the restaurant. I want to understand the different types of fat and how they are used today in the industry.
THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION IN FUTURE RESTAURANT BUSINESS
Currently, nutrition is something that is on the rising when it comes to meals served in restaurants. Many people are starting to be aware of the food that they eat outside. Customers now look at where the products come from and how they are prepped and cooked. A majority of people tend to eat outside in restaurants for every meal, so they are starting to care about the food they eat and how much nutrients they are consuming.
In the future, nutrition will play a much more important role in the kitchen then it does today. Eating meals in a restaurant has become very common and will be much more popular in the coming future. People will start going out to eat their daily meals (especially dinner) at restaurants. It is important that chefs and cooks create dishes that will not only pleasure their customers’ palette, but also benefit their heath and body. Though nutrition will play a big role in the coming future, a part of me still believes that customers will have that craving for unhealthy, delicious food, therefore it is important to balance out the menu with healthy meals but also meals that consumers want from time to time.

Every practice blogs posted on this website are reliable information because they were posted by certified dietitians with many years of experience.
Non-credible website: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition
This website here would be a great example of a non-credible source. Wikipedia is an openly editable content, meaning anyone can erase or add information that they think fits into the certain topic. It is not reviewed by anyone from that specific genre, in this case a certified dietitian. The article does not have any authors. Information from this source is not taken as credible and there may be false information.
