This survey course is designed to provide students with basic information concerning the interaction of biological, psychological, behavioral, social and cultural processes that function in the intersection of food, eating behaviors, and short- and long-term health outcomes. A particular emphasis will be placed on the impact of stress and social determinants on these relationships. In this course we will explore the complicated determinants of eating and physical activity behaviors and identify key leverage points for effective interventions for promoting healthy eating.
