Most students begin to patronize grocery stores regularly during their college years. Grocery stores contain an amazing amount of interesting and relevant biology.
Life long eating and shopping habits begin their development during college years.
This course is designed to promote the education of food shoppers and eaters, while at the same time promoting habits of lifetime learning. We will begin to explore some selected issues arising from our grocery store encounters. Much of the learning will occur within small groups as issues are identified and researched. The results of small group investigations will be presented to the class as a whole in written or oral form. Most of the class time will involve discussions and debates, planning for group projects, or field trips.
