Samira Jones, a UCD graduate in nutritional biology was awarded a $1500 scholarship from the California Adolescent Nutrition and Fitness Program. She developed "a nutrition education plan aimed at helping low-income African American women." Jones suggests that since women don't get enough protein, a meal plan that would increase fish consumption among the community would be a "great help" to their health.

So basically, this lady gets a thousand buckaroonies because she told everyone to eat more fish. Didn't we already know that fish was healthy? I know I'm probably neglecting all the hours of research and paperwork she had to go through to make this thing "official" but seriously, she got this by telling everyone to do something my mom tells me to do everyday. I don't see anyone doling out $1500 to my mother when she tells me this! And what about when she tells me I shouldn't nap too much because my face will get bloated, huh?! Where's her scholarship for that?!
