NEW! In Depth Chapters
Obesity, Malnutrition, and
Healthful Eating Patterns are
three new mini-chapters that focus
on topics such as the health and
societal problems surrounding
undernourishment; the effectiveness
of lifestyle changes, medications,
dietary supplements, and surgery
in obesity treatment; and the
components and principles of a
healthful eating pattern.
NEW! Chapter 13: Food Equity,
Sustainability, and Quality: The
Challenge of “Good” Food
Focuses on current issues of food quality and
availability that directly affect today's students.
Topics include the disparities in availability
of high-quality, nourishing food thought to
contribute to the poverty-obesity paradox,
unsafe working conditions in many U.S. farms
and factories, and more.
NEW! Focus Figures
6 new Focus Figures on topics such as nutrition
and human disease, the scientific method, the new
nutrition facts panel, and more; and 8 new Meal
Focus Figures have been added that graphically depict
the differences in sets of meals, such as a comparison
of nutrient density or a comparison of two high-
carbohydrate meals, to engage students with relevant
and practical information, and much more.
