Every day, multiple times a day, we make choices about the food we eat. We also often see blanket statements in the media about how certain foods, food sources, or preparation methods are very good or very bad for you. Where is the truth in these claims? Which should we attend to and which can we ignore? Through mini-lectures, interactive class activities, and discussions, you?ll come to understand the science behind current controversies in food science.
Open to students in the CNS Connect RAP program in Thoreau only. Instructor William Dixon Seminar Description for NATSCI 191CNS8 sec 2 (What Do You Know About Food?)

Which should we adhere to and which can we ignore? Through mini-lectures, interactive class activities, and discussions, you?ll come to understand the science behind current controversies in the world of food, common food science principles, and explore how food can impact interplanetary spaceflight. Additionally, information about all CNS majors, CNS announcements, and college tips (e.g. campus resources, time management, etc.) will also be addressed in class.
