"How can we have an epidemic of obesity when most of the world is starving? How can the very thing that’s supposed to bring us strength and longevity make us ill? The answer is simple: Food is big business. In this course, we discuss “foodonomics” or the business of food. We examine what we really know about the food we eat, the way food defines cultures and traditions, the plight of the local farmer, and controversies such as bioengineered and drug crops. We also discuss the validity of the organic and buy local movements, the positive and negative effects of globalization, and how and why our food is making us sick. Finally, we examine the true power of agriculture and why some are starved while others are stuffed." (Yes, I may be pseudo-doxxing myself)  Seems food-related, but no, no NUTRITION related Gen-Ed courses.
