- More suitable for students of a higher level such as Upper Secondary.
- A very good and acurate source of information.
- For anyone that has a immersed interest in FoodBorne illness.
Appearance can be deceiving:
Yes, you heard me right:p
The site honestly do look boring- loads of information with no animation or lack of visual aids.
However! In the FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS section (which happens to be my favourite), one will realise that questions they had or never thought they would have would appear in this section!!!
Still not convinced and nauseated by the load?
Let's try this question...
WHAT FOODS ARE MOST ASSOCIATED WITH FOODBOURNE ILLNESS?
Is it..
- Raw meat and poultry
- Raw eggs
- Unpasteurized milk
- Raw shellfish
Can't decide on an answer?
Its because the answer is 5. All of the Above! That is Raw Foods of Animal Origin as they are the most likely to be contaminated.Hahaha.. Gotcha!
Back to Food and Nutrition:
Well, this site has other links that are closely related to food and nutrition such as healthy living and even nutrition through the different stages in life.
Each tab would bring you to topics under the particular-related category. Under Diseases and Conditions, I have found certain conditions such as ADHD that are closely in-tie with our classroom management module. Hence, this site has once again proved its practicality :)
Overall, I am for this site in terms of acquiring general knowledge. The information found in the site is reliable as it is provided and managed by a Governmant Organisation.
However, in terms of Food and Nutrition, this site would not be the best candidate as the information are pretty brief and somewhat lack of visual attraction- not a excellent teaching tool.

Back to topic..
As I was saying, this site is managed by a profit-making company, thus the site may be subjected to some form of bias.
However, there is no need for negligence about the potato facts and nutritive values the site provides.
The site is easy to nagivate and access to.
It is an interesting site to explore considering the fact that a big part of the world consume potatoes as their staple food.
However, I would not recommend it to students or teachers as the site's main purpose does not serve to inform in nutrition aspects.
This is a good site if...
- You want to know about different toppings that can act as accompaniment to potatoes
- You want to know the nutritive value of potatoes
- You are a potato fanatic
- You want to order their potatoes
Before I sign off.. I would like to share some fun facts that I have learnt
Some interesting facts about potatoes:
- Did you know that the Indians in Peru were the first people to cultivate the potato over 4000 years ago?
- The potato, a name derived from the American Indian word "Batata", was introduced to Europeans by Spanish conquerors during the late 16th Century.
- A potato is about 80% water and 20% solid.
- United States potato lovers consumed more than 4 million tons of French Fries in various shapes and sizes.
- The average American eats 140 pounds of potatoes per year. Germans eat more than 200 pounds per year.
- The largest potato grown was 18 pounds and 4 ounces according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It was grown in England in 1795.
That's all for now!
Signing off.. Michelly

It's like another Amazon or Ebay, that sells products. I took some time to browse through it and realise one difference, between Learning Seed and Amazon, which is Learning Seed sells DVDs that are related to Food Studies and Consumer Studies.
If you want to quickly locate for a particular video, you can use the search box.
Under the International Orders, I realise we do not have exclusive distributors for Learning Seed's products here in Singapore. Thus, if you would like a quote on shipping, you would have to email them. This also applies when you have questions or special requests.
Learning Seed offers 30-day preview policy on all items. It means after getting your order, you have 30 days to think carefully and decide whether you want to keep or return it. The preview period starts on the day you receive the items. After previewing, you either pay for it or return the items.
I feel that it is a relatively reasonable policy. We, buyers, may not know if the content is relevant even if the title suggests it to be as we have not seen the movie beforehand, so there is a possibility of item rejection. Thus, having this 30-day preview policy is always welcomed and should not be taken advantage of as some customers do not pay after getting the items or some send the cover back without the tape or disc.
