An Apple a Day: Examining Nutritional Literacy through the Lens of Fad Diets

Description: Seminar, one hour. Exploration of diets, nutritional literacy, and one's relationship with food through critical, evidence-based approach. Social media content creators make frequent claims about what is healthy and what is harmful--greens supplements should be taken each morning, and grass-fed butter is the only acceptable fat to incorporate into one's diet. How can one investigate these claims to make informed choices about what to eat and cultivate a healthy relationship with food? How can consumers look beyond the promises of fad diets while still prioritizing health and fitness goals? Consideration of gray area surrounding this world of information. Consideration of what a perfect diet is, and benefits of distinguishing between research and marketing and evaluating the information absorbed from various sources. P/NP grading. Facilitated by Neha Gupta, with Paul T. Hsu as faculty mentor.
