Omnivore: Nutrition Lessons From Anthropology

Classroom

In this class you will gain cross-cultural and holistic tips on healthy eating. You will learn how diet and nutrition are linked to cultural practices and how the tendency to obesity and disease are historically and culturally based. In this workshop class you will engage in activities and discussions that will hopefully help you gain useful insight into your own life as an omnivore and encourage you to improve your relationship with food, your body and your health.

Prerequisites

A previous knowledge of anthropology and/or attendance in one of my other classes is helpful but not necessary.
