2.  Now watch this anti-soda animation by clicking HERE

3.  In Super Size Me Part 7 you saw a man who had to get his stomach tied because he got so fat from drinking soda.  Please create an XtraNormal movie or ToonDoo comic about the dangers of soda and what you can drink instead of it.

1.  Make a list of EVERYTHING you ate yesterday.

2. Next, visit Calorie Lab or Calorie Counter and mark the number of calories each food you ate contains.  Your list should look something like this:

Apple- 55 Calories

Egg sandwich- 466

Fruit punch- 260

3. Now, add all your calories together. Write down your total.

4. If you’re a girl, subtract 1850 calories from your total.  If you’re a boy, subtract 2200 calories from your total. This tells you how many EXTRA calories you are eating each day.  For example, if I ate 3000 calories and I’m a boy, my formula would be  3000 – 2200 = 800 Extra Calories.

5. Finally, visit Calorie Control.  Choose an exercise and find out  how long you’d need to do it for to burn your extra calories (in my case, how long to burn 800 extra calories).
