I really liked this course, although the things cooked in it were a little basic. That being said, it is an admirable cause and I found Maya really inspiring!

Great course to introduce people to the process and production of the U.S. food system and how to incorporate healthy food into children's lives and futures.

Great course, written from the American perspective but still very relevant as the world 'westernises' itself. Loved Dr. Maya's passion and friendly manner.

Muy bueno y útil.

Una gran manera de llevarnos para generar un cambio, sobre todo cuando estamos rodeados de alimentos insalubres que dañan nuestro cuerpo.

Very good but basic information. This class covers some good solid skills everyone should have for reading labels and preparing their own meals at home.

This course was very informative. The videos were a plus for visual learners. The segments were not too lengthy to one loose focus. Well done.

Interesting Course. Stanford should Coursera Plus. Stanford Courses are not the best and they ask for money in order to get the certificate.

Ágil y fácil de seguir. Tal vez algunos contenidos se repiten y se centra únicamente en las reglamentaciones de USA, igualmente es muy útil.

Was hoping for more in-depth information on nutrition. Either than that, the course was well assembled and the videos were worth watching.
