I received an email from an instructor in Nutrition who would like to replace the commercial textbook currently being used. Below is a link to the current book (Food and Culture) and the course learning outcomes. Thank you very much for any assistance you can
provide.
Here are the learning outcomes from last year:
1. Explain the relationship between food, food choices, ethno cultural, and religious identity
2. Recognize the role culture plays in influencing group and individual food selection, preparation, consumption and in producing different attitudes
and beliefs around food
3. Understand the impact traditional health beliefs and practices have on food choice and health
4. Gain skills in intercultural communication
5. Explore food systems and their impact on individual food choices
6. Become familiar with world religions and understand religious influences on food choice
7. Understand how food patterns of people from different cultures help them meet nutritional needs
