This course explores current dietary trends and examines the role geopolitical and economic forces have on our day-to-day food choices. The spectrum of popular diets and their advocates and critics will be discussed along with the current scientific research available for each. Students will reflect on the diversity of food choices, prohibitions and taboos that exist within our multicultural and multiethnic communities, with an eye toward increasing awareness and sensitivity. An emphasis will be placed on the health promotion theory and guidelines to optimize nutrition-related behaviors.
