Further Brainstorming:

Will a reduced focus on food and nutrition status of an individual actually lead to a healthier lifestyle and dietary habits?

How does marketing and/or advertising affect the health of individuals when it comes to nutrition?  

How do the presentation of these ideas affect individuals?

 

Possible key terms: food literacy

 

Reflection:

My intended majors are Marketing and Nutrition.  Business is a field that I am mainly pursuing, but at the same time, healthy living is also something I am very interested in.  Since there is a fine line between marketing tactics to promote sales or products and false advertising, I am curious to see how these two worlds interact.  Also, while exploring articles, I found some studies that suggest that dietetics and nutrition students have reduced body image and struggle more heavily with food.  This was definitely interesting to read and I am interested in potentially exploring the possibility that when it comes to food, too much knowledge can be bad for you.
