SF-1187 The Psychology of Nutrition
This course is a brief study of one critical area with which young students interested in psychology must deeply engage. Nutrition and the psychological aspects of what we ingest for our nourishment, physically and mentally, is the key to our future and our humanity. We will cover three areas including food and our psychological interaction with food as a historical prelude to our Western cultural development. Next we will examine nutrients and how these help us to understand food as medicine for physical and psychological health and development. Finally, we will consider the psychological impact of chemicals we ingest, on the one hand because we are deceived by producers of food who seek to gain market share by manipulating what we eat, and on the other hand, because we are drawn to trying psychedelic chemicals past and present.
