Food does a lot for us: it nourishes us, it's part of our culture, it's an important part of social gatherings (imagine a Birthday Party without cake?). In terms of nutrition, there's a lot of information out there about the relative health of foods. Which foods are good for us, and which are not? How do we know? There are foods which are controversial, whether it be in terms of its impact on our health or its impact on the environment. We read and hear so much about these controversial foods. How are we to know what to believe? For this assignment, you will be doing that very thing.
