Nutrition science classes, in particular, discuss current scientific information as well as ethical issues, such as cultural differences, meanings attached to foods, and questions of informed choice. In a nutrition course at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, students apply ethical principles in considering various scenarios drawn from newspaper and magazine articles.
