To answer your question, this is a course I am taking at my college. It is not a required course, but I choose to take it as one of my electives. Tom- I've tried to talk to her, as I've mentioned in my post, but she just argues with me. Her own literature she gives out suggests something different than what she's lecturing on. I also believe that as a role model, you should know your information before you put it on someone else. She almost comes off as the stereotypical 55 year old woman who's already "learned" in her lifetime more than she believes I or anyone below her ever will. This is mainly the reason I find it not worth it to discuss things with her any further now that my class is over. Thanks for your comments! Kelly- I completely agree.

Why not show her some articles on the importance of healthy fats from nuts etc and see if she changes her thinking?

I have my issues with the programs advocated by the ACSM and NCSA, but they both represent the "fitness establishment". They both also advocate going "BELOW PARALLEL" on squats, and point out that stopping right at parallel (90 degrees) is mechanically harder on the knees than descending into a full deep squat. http://www.exrx.net/Kinesiology/Squats.html Ugh.
