I received an email from an instructor in Nutrition who would like to replace the commercial textbook currently being used. Below is a link to the current book (Food and Culture) and the course learning outcomes. Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.


Here are the learning outcomes from last year:
 
1.            Explain the relationship between food, food choices, ethno cultural, and religious identity
2.            Recognize the role culture plays in influencing group and individual food selection, preparation, consumption and in producing different attitudes and beliefs around food
3.            Understand the impact traditional health beliefs and practices have on food choice and health
4.            Gain skills in intercultural communication
5.            Explore food systems and their impact on individual food choices
6.            Become familiar with world religions and understand religious influences on food choice
7.            Understand how food patterns of people from different cultures help them meet nutritional needs

Just resurrecting this question to see if there are any new leads. I am working with a faculty member who is trying to find a replacement for our KIN 166:  American Food and Culture: Global Origins, History and Current Impacts. They currently use  Food Around the World, 2014, 4e (Pearson) 

They are making use of the Human Nutrition 2e ( 2020) OER for a nutrition course and also in the past this 166 course used the OpenStax Sociology, 3e but looking for something more comprehensive for U.S. Food and Culture. 

Any leads for OER or ZTC (library ebooks, etc. ) would be great. I've exhausted searching GOBI and elsewhere for ebooks that might match. 

Thanks,

Here is a just one video I found for my "cultural"  part of the nutrition class I am developing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU-lk2u4W08&t=1s  
A fun and effective resource to learn English in context, World culture, travel, and all about breakfast, food and eating traditions around the world. A grea...
Not much help, but something.

Sarah:


There are is a lot of content in the LibreTexts libraries via searches for nutrition and food that likely would be useful.
