Eating habits
Duration: 5-7 min. Group size: Any Materials: N/a
The facilitator tells a short story of Mrs. Smith who had lost her husband. The doctor asked her for eating habits and she told that she covered the table with all sorts of delicious dishes - fried chicken stuffed with prunes, with profiteroles floating in oil, baked pork roll on the sides of the dish. At first, he ate reluctantly, but it was inconvenient for him to refuse her, and over time he even liked it. He was in a hurry to go home where new delicious dishes were waiting for him. In the evenings, he watched TV and ate so much, unconsciously to himself. At the hospital the doctors admitted: diabetes mellitus, obesity, gastritis and a bunch of all kinds of medical incomprehensible diseases. The facilitator then asks the participants on the possible topic of the activity. They make reflections over the story and give predictions.
