"Question 5: Of the 6 classes worked in this course, which one has been your favorite?

This learning challenge was highly useful because it enabled to me learn new things which I really didn't consider in my normal life, hence through this challenge I got alot of knowledge such how to check label which are healthy which oil should be used for good health. Hence I got alot of knowledge and all credit goes to respected professor who worked for our wellbeing.

>Question 6: What topics would you like us to develop in the next healthy cooking classes?

In my point of view we are eating daily but perhaps didn't follow any diet essential ingredients with proportion. We need it daily and didn't eat healthy just because of lack of knowledge.

I think this section should be broaden in which we have to learn about essential nutrients and their rights proportion in daily diet. Otherwise this challenge was superb.

It's all about my today's.

I would like to invite my friends @m-fdo, @jannat12 andv@mdkamran99 to take part in the challenge.
