Description

Professor Brownell gives an overview of the course agenda. The psychological issues of food are introduced, such as who defines food, what promotes health, and how the food industry contributes to both debates. The biological issues that will be discussed include how people's hard-wired preferences interact with a modern food environment. The political issues of the class will integrate food production, consumption, marketing, and world politics, with discussion of potential interventions for changing food preferences and food intake patterns in society.

This is great. I teach a fully online disease prevention and management course. I'm using this, with permission, as a resource for our discussions about nutrition. I was wondering if you have this in MERLOT. I did not see it there. Anyway, it is great. Do you have discussion questions that go with this lecture?
