The benefit to the macs are they don’tcrash like PC’s and they last long.

This helps to make better food choices andcorrect portion sizes.
About $40.00 for the software

Fun for all
The yoga mats and exercise bands wouldbe tied into this lesson because withoutproper exercise the dietary analysis is onlyhelping show the students food intakeand its not helping them improve.
