Food and Fiber Theme Option
This option focuses on food and fiber systems, from their plant, animal, or synthetic sources to their ultimate use by humans for health, safety, communication, and pleasure. Understanding these systems enables students to see the connections between the food and clothes that are part of our everyday lives and the scientific, social, and cultural issues that make them so significant to society as a whole.
Topics might include food and clothing safety, quality, and availability; media and consumer perceptions; and cultural histories, values, and meanings.
