NW 261-BI - Food: Pasture, Table, Body, and Mind

Min Units: 5
Max Units: 5
This course about food will encourage society to consider how food connects to both society and to science and how society and science connect to one another. By using a framework of pasture, table, body, and mind, we will explore the ecological relationship between a healthy environment and growing healthy food, the factors that influence our food choices, the constituents of food and how they contribute to our physical well-being, and the ways in which society and culture influence our eating habits. A course for non-science majors. (U) Occasionally
