Trinity Johnson is a Collin College student looking to improve the article, health claim by adding more information in regards to multiple diets and their claims of benefits by credible people, such as a dietitian. She is also wanting to add more information to the section regarding marketing and consumer perceptions, due to finding information to add to what the original author already wrote that will support and add more credibility to the article.

Marketing and Consumer Perceptions Hannah Cooper, a student working towards their registered dietitian degree, wrote a post for Spoon University showing, “product labels provide some of the most misleading information because there is room for interpretation of what “all natural” and “100% whole wheat” actually mean.” Distributors use labeling to their advantage when it comes to majority of naïve consumers. Most commonly known healthy foods do have some nutrition and benefits but that's if you are eating the recommended serving size and typically most people don't check the serving size especially if the package states it is "all natural" or "organic". An example Hannah Cooper uses is granola, "a serving size of granola is 1/4 cup. Chances are, you’re not only eating a 1/4 cup of granola for breakfast so you’re doubling or tripling the amount of sugar, calories, and carbohydrates and not getting enough fiber."

Dietary Supplements Using research conducted by multiple scientist that work in the department of nutrition and with fellow doctors over seeing the trials, in Sub-Saharan Africa on many malnourished children and young adults they conducted that “After 9 weeks of supplementation, body weight, and fat-free mass increased significantly by +11 %”

Organic Foods Shahin Essa a faculty member of management studies, states “organic fruits and vegetables help in weight in loss, helps in proper digestion, and it reduces the risk of various diseases.”

'''Whole Foods Whole foods are another example of health food and are defined by being food “as close to their natural form as possible” that has minimal additives to it, according to Elaine Magee a registered dietitian and a master of public health. Elaine also gives examples and smarter ways to incorporate whole foods like “eating whole grains instead of refined grains whenever possible is better, and rather eating chicken nuggets processed with added fats, flavorings, and preservatives, eat a cooked skinless chicken breast.”

Vegetarian Diet According to Virginia Messina, a registered dietitian,“ Vegetarians have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels and tend to be a little thinner, so vegetarians are automatically going to be at a lower risk of certain chronic diseases”
