FRCL 10130 - FOOD FOR THOUGHT
FOOD FOR THOUGHT~ Just who are you if “you are what you eat”? From Fast Food Nation to Super-Size Me to The Omnivore’s Dilemma, the production, politics and health-impact of food has become a central discourse in American culture. This course will explore the cultural history and meaning of food in America: how food shapes national, regional, and personal identity; how culture, global politics, the media, and corporations affect the food we eat. In particular, we will focus on the ways in which food has been tied to health: criticism of fast food and food production practices, the organic and “locavore” movements, the obesity “epidemic” and eating disorders. 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Freshman Colloquium Department
