Intractable nutritional problems and health issues remain a public health concern.
Whether the issue is the increasing prevalence of obesity among school-aged children,
malnutrition in the elderly, or low rates of breastfeeding, the community nutritionist

and policies in a changing environment. To this end, educators teaching upper-division
