This course will provide students with a foundational understanding of foods and nutritional components that support health. Key content areas will include nutrient characteristics, requirements, and food sources; energy balance; weight control; dietary guides and food planning; and social and economic factors that affect food production and consumption. A key aspect of this course will be an emphasis not only on reductionist discussions about nutrients but also discussions about food and the environment in which we consume it. Fall, Spring
