In this course, students examine, interpret, and evaluate current topics in nutrition related to health issues and policies, as well as individual food choices. Students explore and analyze aspects of health promotion, health education, and wellness for those involved in promoting healthy lifestyles. Students also discuss the impact of food choices on the environment and the sustainability of those choices.
