Part 2 of Assignment
For this part of assignment I am working with Tilly and we have decided to make 2 child servings of spiral pasta with bacon and a creamy tomato sauce suitable for 5-7 year old boys. We chose this target audience because boys at this age are very energetic and need a meal that is going to provide for their needs and their growing bones. We also chose spiral pasta because it is fun and easy to eat. The packaging we have selected is a noodle box this is because it is made out of cardboard, making it good for the environment. We will decorate the box with the theme of the cars movie which is a movie enjoyed by our target audience and will catch their attention. We have not really thought of a name for the product but we have been brainstorming a few ideas. We have also handed in our requisition list and completed our workflow plan. I think that we are both working really well and are at a good pace. At this stage we are still completing our label.

Semester 2
This is my first reflection this term. So far in the theory lessons we have done a series of worksheets including 'The Changing food Pattern', an interview which involved a family member on changing food habits which i enjoyed and a worksheet on consumer demand which included and interesting class discussion. It is know week three and we have been given our assignments which is a research essay which involves a prac in early term 4. In the practical lessons we have cooked chicken pam on a pasta and baklava, both of which i have enjoyed. On Friday we will be cooking a soup and garlic bread which i am looking forward to!

Hospitality Evaluation
For our assignment this term we were asked to
- Research lifestyle diseases and habits
- Use the information from your research and from class lessons to create and prepare a 2 course meal suitable for a restaurant menu to cater for the disease or lifestyle choice studied.
- Justify your choices.
While completing the assignment I found that it was very informative and interesting I really enjoyed learning about many of the lifestyle diseases and allergies that you can be born with or develop through life and how much it can affect them and the restrictions they have with foods.
For my two dishes I made banana and passionfruit muffins and berry cakes which both used ingredients that were suitable for people who have a gluten free diet. I think that I went quite well in making my dishes and Raier was a good help because we used the method of one person focusing on one dish but helping each other. They both turned out really nice and tasted delicious. We did not have any difficulties in making the two dishes however; there would have been one thing I would have changed if I were to repeat this task. That being time management, I think I could have been a bit quicker with getting the muffins organised and into the oven earlier and start cleaning up earlier which would have made it run quite smoothly. I am really happy with the final result of my assignment, I think that it was really enjoyable and I can’t wait to see what next semester has to offer!
Pictures of the final result, comming soon!

After looking through recipes and information I have decided to choose the Gluten Free diet as the recipes I am going to cook. I have found one which I want to cook and that is the banana muffins with a passionfruit glaze which uses ingredients that are supplied to people that require a gluten free diet.

Questions A&B
A) Identify the circumstances in a person’s life which may mean that they require special diets?
SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH DISEASES AND ALLERGIES THAT REQUIRE A SPECIAL DIET AND SOME PEOPLE DEVELOP THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES WHETHER THEY ARE A CHILD TO A MATURE ADULT. FOR EXAMPLE, DISEASES LIKE DIABETES TYPE ONE YOU ARE BORN WITH EITHER BEING FOUND COMMON IN THE FAMILY OR IT HAS NOT BEEN RECORDED IN YOUR FAMILY’S HISTORY. HAVING DIABETES REQUIRES A CERTAIN DIET THAT HAS TO BE KEPT IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE BODY’S BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS. DURING LIFE ALLERGIES CAN ALSO BE DEVELOPED WHICH CAN ALSO REQUIRE A SPECIAL DIET WHICH EXCLUDE FOODS THAT MAY TRIGGER AN ALLERGIC REACTION. SOME FOOD ALLERGIES ARE SHELLFISH AND FISH ALLERGIES, MILK ALLERGY, SOY ALLERGY, WHEAT ALLERGY, PEANUT AND EGG ALLERGIES JUST TO NAME A FEW. ANOTHER CIRCUMSTANCE IN SOMEONE’S LIFE THAT MAY REQUIRE A SPECIAL DIET IS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTISES, FOR EXAMPLE IN THE MUSLIM DIET CARNIVOROUS ANIMALS ARE NOT PERMITTED, ALL PORK AND PORK PRODUCTS ARE TOTALLY FORBIDDEN, ALCOHOL IN ANY FORM IS NOT PERMITTED AND PRODUCTS LIKE LARD, GELATINE, RENNET AND VANILLA EXTRACT SHOULD BE AVOIDED. IN THE HINDU DIET EATING BEEF IS NOT ALLOWED BECAUSE THE COW IS SACRED TO THEM.
B) Explain the difference between a special food need that an individual may be born with and a special food need that may develop as a result of illness or the environment in which a person lives.
Special food need that you can be born with:
Some special food needs like diabetes type 1 and some allergies that you can be born with are either common in the family or just develop without any traces in family history.
Special food need that you can develop:
Special food needs that you can develop are either based upon a result of an illness like diabetes type 2 or the environment that a person lives in. For example type 2 diabetes often goes hand in hand with obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and these are problems that you can develop during your life.
It is clear that there is a difference between a special food need that you can be born with and one that you can develop. It is basically saying that you cannot prevent a special food need that you are born with but during life you are in control of your body meaning that diseases like type 2 diabetes you can avoid by looking after your body and keeping it healthy.

Websites
The Websites and the information that i have posted below is very useful and informative, it will be very usefull for my assignment. I will now have a look at possible recipes I will consider for the prac work.
Vegetarian Diet Info
Vegetarians are people who don’t eat meat or seafood and may not eat eggs or dairy foods. Vegans follow a form of vegetarianism but consume only plant foods. Well-planned vegetarian diets have many health benefits and can provide all the essential vitamins and minerals necessary for a long and healthy life.
Types of vegetarians
There are three main types of vegetarianism. These are:
Lacto-ovo vegetarians – people who avoid meat and seafood, but include dairy foods (such as milk and eggs) and plant foods.
Lacto-vegetarians – people who avoid meat, seafood and eggs but include dairy foods and plant foods.
Vegans – people who consume only plant foods.
Health benefits of a vegetarian diet
A well-balanced vegetarian or vegan diet can provide many health benefits, such as a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including:
Obesity
Coronary artery disease
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Diabetes
Some types of cancer.
Vegetarians and vegans also have lower rates of illness and death from a number of degenerative diseases.
Meeting nutritional needs
If you choose to be vegetarian or vegan, you need to plan your diet to make sure it includes all the essential nutrients. The wider the variety of foods you eat, the easier it will be to meet your nutritional requirements.
Some essential dietary requirements, which could be missing from a vegetarian diet if it isn’t carefully planned, include:
Protein
Minerals (including iron, calcium and zinc)
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D.
Protein
Protein is essential for many bodily processes, including tissue building and repair. Protein is made up of smaller components called amino acids. A complete protein has all the amino acids necessary to make up protein. Most individual plant foods are not complete proteins – they only have some of the amino acids. Soy is one of the only complete vegetable proteins.
It was once thought that vegetarians and vegans needed to combine plant foods at each meal to ensure they consumed complete proteins. Recent research has found that this is not the case. Consuming various sources of amino acids throughout the day should provide the complete complement of protein. Generally, lacto-ovo vegetarians and lacto-vegetarian diets meet or exceed their protein requirements but some vegan diets may be low.
Some good plant sources of protein include:
Legumes such as beans, peas and lentils
Nuts and seeds
Soy products including soy beverages, tempeh and tofu
Whole (cereal) grains.
It is recommended that vegetarians and vegans eat legumes and nuts daily, along with wholegrain cereals, to ensure adequate nutrient intakes.
Minerals
If you’re vegetarian or vegan, you need to make sure you get the right amount of essential dietary minerals. Some of these minerals, and suggested food sources, include:
Iron – vegetarian and vegan diets are generally high in iron from plant foods; however, this iron is not absorbed as well as the iron in meat. Good food sources of iron include green leafy vegetables, peas and wholegrains, enriched cereals and legumes. Combining these foods with foods high in vitamin C and food acids, such as fruit and vegetables, will help your body absorb the iron.
Zinc – performs essential functions in the body, including the development of immune system cells. Good food sources of zinc include nuts, tofu, miso, legumes, wheat germ and wholegrain foods.
Calcium – is needed for strong bones and teeth. Good food sources of calcium include dairy products, fortified cereals and fruits juices, fortified soymilk, tahini and some brands of tofu. Leafy dark green vegetables (especially Asian greens), legumes, almonds and Brazil nuts also contain calcium.
Iodine – our bodies need iodine for the thyroid gland and other associated hormones to function normally. Iodised salt is the most common source of iodine in the Western diet. Iodine is found in seafood, which is a rich source of this element. Sea vegetables (seaweed) also contain iodine, but are also high in salt.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is important for the production of red blood cells – it helps to maintain healthy nerves and a healthy brain. Vegans are at risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency because it is not found in plant products.
Anaemia is a common result of B12 deficiency. If a breastfeeding mother is following a vegan diet, the lack of vitamin B12 in her milk can interfere with normal brain development of her baby.
Vitamin B12 can be found in dairy products and eggs. There are fortified vegan foods such as some soy beverages and some vegetarian sausages and burgers. If vegans don’t obtain their B12 requirement from these foods, they are advised to take B12 supplements. Vitamin B12 absorption becomes less efficient as we age, so supplements may also be needed by older vegetarians.
Mushrooms, tempeh, miso and sea vegetables are often claimed to be a source of B12. However, this is not accurate. They contain a compound with a similar structure to B12 but it doesn’t work like B12 in the body. They may contain some B12 on their surface, from soil (bacteria) or fertiliser contamination.
Vitamin D
The main source of vitamin D for most Australians is sunlight. There are few foods that contain significant amounts of vitamin D. There is very little vitamin D in most people’s diets unless they eat fatty fish, eggs, liver or foods fortified with vitamin D (such as margarine). Fortified low fat and skim milk is another source of vitamin D, but the levels are low.
Vegans can increase their chances of avoiding vitamin D deficiency by consuming fortified soymilk and cereals. As the sun is also a major source of vitamin D, dietary intake is only important when exposure to UV light from the sun is inadequate – for example, in people who are housebound or whose clothing covers almost all of their skin.
Vegetarian diets and children
Well-planned vegan and vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of a person’s life. However, special care needs to be taken with young children.
Infants consuming breast milk or commercial infant formula usually have their nutritional needs met. Upon weaning, it is important to include protein and energy rich foods for growth, such as mashed tofu or cottage cheese. Later, add cheese, cow’s milk, full fat soymilk and legumes. One way to ensure that vegetarian children meet their energy needs is to give them frequent meals and snacks. It is particularly important that vegan children have energy and nutrient dense foods regularly (examples include full fat soy drink, tofu, mashed avocado, tahini spread and vegetables cooked with oil).
A global view
Some people choose to become vegetarian or vegan as a healthy lifestyle choice or for ethical reasons. There are also sound social reasons to be a vegetarian. Livestock production accounts for nearly 80 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture worldwide. Livestock production places a much heavier burden on water, land and fossil fuel resources than grains and other crops.

Things to remember
Vegetarians don’t eat meat for a range of health, environmental, ethical, religious or economic reasons.
A well-planned vegetarian diet can meet nutritional needs over all the stages of life.
More restrictive vegetarian diets, such as vegan and raw food diets, are more likely lead to nutritional deficiencies.

Diabetes Type 1 Information
Type 1 Diabetes
In type 1 diabetes the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach, stops making insulin. Without insulin, the body’s cells cannot turn glucose (sugar), into energy. Without insulin the body burns its own fats as a substitute. Unless treated with daily injections of insulin, people with type 1 diabetes accumulate dangerous chemical substances in their blood from the burning of fat. This can cause a condition known as ketoacidosis. This condition is potentially life threatening if not treated.
To stay alive, people with type 1 diabetes depend on up to four insulin injections every day of their lives. They must test their blood glucose levels several times daily. The onset of type 1 diabetes typically occurs in people under 30 years, but can occur at any age. About 10-15% of all cases of diabetes are type 1.
Cause of Type 1 Diabetes
The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is not yet known, but we do know it has a strong family link and cannot be prevented. We also know that it has nothing to do with lifestyle, although maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important in helping to manage type 1 diabetes.
At this stage nothing can be done to prevent or cure type 1 diabetes.
Symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes
The following are symptoms of type 1 diabetes:
Being excessively thirsty
Passing more urine
Feeling tired and lethargic
Always feeling hungry
Having cuts that heal slowly
Itching, skin infections
Blurred vision
Unexplained weight loss
Mood swings
Headaches
Feeling dizzy
Leg cramps.
These symptoms may occur suddenly. If they occur, see a doctor. Through a simple test, a doctor can find out if they’re the result of type 1 diabetes.
Managing Type 1 Diabetes
While there is currently no cure for type 1 diabetes, the disease can be managed through maintaining a healthy lifestyle, regular blood glucose testing and insulin.
