Your homework over break is to complete Assignment 18. This involves reading the following article and answering the associated questions.
Assignment 18 - Reflecting on Our Focus Upon Micronutrients
Answer the following questions to the best of your ability in complete sentences.
1. Summarize the article in a paragraph. Be sure to define any new terms (ex. reductionism, epistemology, etc.)
2. What is your reaction to the contents of the article? Should we change how we think about food and nutrition (which is typically in reductionist manner - focusing on individual nutrients over the food/meal as a whole)?
3. How does this article relate to our recent discussions in food science class?
NOTE: If you thought the topic of this article, then check out Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food. But don't feel bad if you thought the article itself was a bit... dry.
