If I had more time and the resources in this assignment, as said previously, I would have created my own experiment where I show the ‘’healthiness’’ levels of a day to day person, consuming the recommended amount of nutrition and macronutrients compared to a person who lives in a third world country affected by global warming to show the importance of minerals in water, vitamins, etc. However, I could have also researched further into where these third world countries could get the nutrients from if they cannot get them from certain foods. Evaluating my plan, starting my work earlier to allow myself to make multiple drafts instead of just one or two which would have allowed my plan to be more precise. I would have also implemented
