Discerning the difference between good and accurate information and that which is anecdotal and inaccurate and be difficult.  One must look for who published it, do they have a vested interest, does it conflict with what you’ve learned, was what you’ve learned in the past wrong, was it peer reviewed or in a scientific journal, is it opinionated.  All of these things (amongst other) can make for either “good’ or “bad” information.

For Module 2 we discussed the basics of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.  There is a tone of conflicting information on the internet regarding these macronutrients.  Your job is to find one source of good information (post it) and one course of bad information (post it) and describe what makes them good and bad.

Remember being able to state something powerful is less words than more is always a good thing, so stick to the general guidelines in the Discussion Rubric.
