Discussion Question
Gina is a busy single mother. She works as a nurses’ aide, and now that her son is in grade
school, she is training to be a registered nurse so she can get a better job. During the week
she takes her son to school and then goes to school herself. She works second shift (3:00
PM to 11:30 PM) and gets home around midnight. Her parents live close by and are able
to pick up her son from school, take care of him during the evening, feed him dinner, and
get him to bed. She does not have time to think about what to eat during the week. She
eats breakfast cereal for breakfast and dinner and usually eats fast food for lunch. On the
weekends, she tries to prepare meals for herself and her son. She figures she will only be
in school for a few years and for now she can get what she needs to keep herself healthy by
taking a daily multivitamin.
