Imagine that your city has experienced a drastic rise in food-borne illness. The public lacks the knowledge about appropriate food safety to prevent these problems, and they do not know how to educate themselves about nutrition and health.

Create a public-service bulletin to be printed in the Sunday edition of your newspaper. Address the following points in no more than 750 words:

· Identify some common safety issues related to food purchase, storage, and presentation.

· Describe some illnesses or problems the safety issues might cause, ways to prevent the illnesses or problems, and recommendations for where readers might search for more information.

· Include criteria that readers must use to determine credible sources of nutritional information.

· Explain why it is important for readers to use these criteria when searching for information on nutrition and health.

Research online news sources, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and notices from the local health department to assist you with preparing content for the bulletin.
