Description:

Topic: Sugar, Salt, and Fat. This tutorial takes an historical, anthropological, and biological approach to the use of sugar, salt, and fats in the human diet. People have biological requirements for sugar and salt, and these nutrients have important biological impacts on people. At the same time, the need for these nutrients forces people to migrate great distances; create new technology for production, transport, and consumption of foods containing these nutrients; organize and reorganize their social groups; and develop new economic and political organizations. Specific topics will be the rise of colonialism, slavery, global trade, and the anthropology of eating. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Seminar Behavioral Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
