The average student's diet needs to be overhauled, if you look around campus and assume you are seeing the average. At least as many chocolate bars leave the Pit as garden salads, I’m sure. Nutrition Canada conducted a more scientific survey and some of their findings follow: In 1957, 13% of adult males and 23% of adult females were overweight. Today, the mean caloric intakes of females in the |0-19, 20-39, and 40-64 year age groups are all less than the standard number of calories set by the World Health Organization. The highest mean caloric intake was among teenage and young adult males (2,952 and 3,188 respectively). The mean caloric intake of children |-7 years is above the recommended level and that of babies (less than One year) and older male children is near the recommended amount.
