A mis 63 años de edad había prometido no estudiar más, pero cuando ví lo interesante de este curso, me olvidé de lo prometido y dije, ADELANTE, Y ME INSCRIBÍ...a pesar de no tener un inglés perfecto y de muchos otros problemas de estos tiempos, me siento felíz y porqué no decir con privilegios al haber tomado esta decisión, a Coursera, a esos grandes Maestros y guías, mi gratitud impercedera. Creo que continuaré. Gracias Gracias.

Very good course, I'm so happy to have this course, I learnt so many things regarding cooking, importance of fruits and vegetables, cons of non vegetarian foods, processed foods and how to cook healthy food, even how to serve plate wow I highly recommend this course to every youngsters like me, I don't know if any one has teach me regarding food like this course did..I can just say thanks you so much Stanford to make this course.

realmente, es un super curso, practico, se asimila facilmente la informacion, y al no ser tan extenso permite entender bien, felicitaciones y agradecimientos por permitir que uno vaya aprendiendo a travez de ustedes, si en terminos generales todos como comunidad recibieramos esta informacion en las escuelas desde pequeños, esto significaria salud por los habitos aplicados al saber toda esta informacion........muchisimas gracias

This was an insightful course that lays an emphasis on home-cooked food to have a healthy life. The course is designed to help you transition from your current food habits to a cleaner, healthier dieting routine. Maya and Michael offered their knowledge in crisp, short videos that are well structured. The course was so engaging that I managed to finish in it three days. Many thanks to everyone involved in making this course.

Regardless of your cooking skills or eating habit, this course will FOR SURE, improve your life. I have been a cook for a long time, and I am pretty conscious about cooking and eating healty, but this course was a great incentive for me to cook more and to eat healthier. It´s loaded with knowledge, brings some excellent scientifical information and some great recipes. Thank you Maya and Michael Pollan for the great course.

This is a great course because it teaches essential skills to identify foods that support a healthy lifestyle and balance. I think every person, regardless of their field, career and financial status should learn this basic knowledge because it will impact positively their lives beyond learning how to make money or event help others. Taking this course is something one should do to take care of themselves and their families

This course was well thought out and lays a good foundation for further study in nutrition. It is a course I would recommend to anyone struggling with weight, ill health or general misconceptions about what it means to eat healthy that can lead to making poor choices. It was presented in a way that is very accessible and I will definitely be recommending it to others and passing along the many excellent suggestions made.

I liked this course with its simple rules of thumb that are easy to remember when trying to eat healthy. It definitely had a lot of tips on how to help people trying to lose weight for their health, however, it also taught how to eat healthy for any individual regardless of their weight. I also liked learning a bit about the science behind it, while it still remained easy to understand and accessible to a general audience.

As a student majoring in food science,I found this course was very compelling. Which teach us how to make healty food from a theoretical and practical perspectives.And from a commercical logic, this class helps us understand why mordern highly proccessed foods are making us fat and worse.At the same time give us solutions about how to buy healthy food in the market.A lots of cecipes and instrucrional videos are included.

Das ist ein sehr interessanter Kurs, mit vielen nützlichen Informationen und gesunden, einfachen Rezepten. Die Dozentin legt relativ komplizierte Dinge anschaulich dar, sodass jeder den Stoff verstehen kann. Ich würde diesen Kurs nicht nur den Menschen empfehlen, die beruflich mit Nahrungsmitteln zu tun haben, sondern auch jedem interessierten Menschen, der seine Essensqualität und folglich Gesundheit verbessern möchte.

Excelente, he aprendido mucho,estoy muy agradecida a coursera.los certificados no los adquiero ,pq no soy profesional de nada, y no me cuentan en el curriculum.aparte economicamente no me lo puedo permitir de momento.solo queria dar las gracias a todosm los profesionales que lo haceis posible y deciros que ne gustaria poder hacer otro curso. me viene muy bien tener la mente ocupada y les saco provecho en mi dia a dia

Hello, My name is Octavia Diva. I took this course because I was very interested in food and health. and I really enjoy it because the learning system with videos is short but full of knowledge. I've learned a lot in these weeks, learned about such a wonderful perception. and can make me keep trying to cook food so that it is easy to control the nutrition that I eat. Thank you Stanford and especially Mrs Maya Adam, MD.

More like parts of a documentary than lectures, a highly engaging teaching method that should honestly be adopted by all teachers, irrespective of their subject. This way, the learner can stay focused by actually enjoying learning and in the process have a better and robust understanding of whatever's being taught. Most teachers don't give much thought to video editing, but they definitely should. Thank you, Dr. Maya.

This was a very imformative course!! As a program assistant for EFNEP, I was pleased to find out that the course was free during the pandemic. As a singlee mom, on a tight budget I am always looking for new ways to learn more. Thank you for making this possible, I was however diappointed that I have to "pay" for the certificate of completion. These should be available to print upon completion of the course. Thank you!

Great course! It was very basic and short and that's precisely what makes this course great. The information presented was concise and anyone should be able to understand it and apply the concepts into their everyday lives. If everyone in America applied such simple principles that were taught in this course into their daily lives, I have no doubt in my mind that the obesity epidemic would be ended within a few years.

I would recommend this course for those who are interested in having a healthy life, improving eating habits, or even getting to lose/maintain weight.

This course provides a lot of fundamental but essential issues that you need to know.

The lessons were described clear, understandably, easy and well-arranged. I would say that language isn't the obstacle to learn this course.

This is my first course and I do love it !

Excellent introductory course. The videos were , informative and easy to understand, with impressive production. This format of interviews, animations and high quality images was a nice touch. As a guy in his late thirties, with some major health issues, these simple classes help to motivate me when I'm being a lazy ass. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to educate themselves and not feel overwhelmed.

This is considered the most pleasant course I have ever taken with Coursera. All the content are very well written with lots of tips that are friendly to beginners. Secondly, it is inspirational and will bring join to the entire food preparation and cooking process instead taking it as grind. Though it is an entry level course, it does help us recalibrate our mindset and common knowledge on some misleading concepts.

Es un curso muy entendible y practico. También permite tener las bases elementales de conocimiento para poder desempeñar una dieta saludable, y a su vez desenmascara lo ignorado por gran parte de las personas, acerca de la comida procesada, y los beneficios continuos de una alimentación casera y balanceada, dando así un beneficio para el control de peso y la prevención de enfermedades como la obesidad y la diabetes.

This course is less demanding than I expected/hoped, but nevertheless the content and its delivery was top-notch. The lectures present material in a clear and natural way. Course content is immediately and easily applied to daily life. The video production is the among the best I've seen in online education. Not groundbreaking, but immensely helpful to those unfamiliar with this material. Definitely worth your time.

This course is a great way to get the background understanding on what your diet is supposed to be comprised of and also a way to implement this information into your daily routine. The videos provided by Dr. Maya Adam were extremely helpful to me. The recipes were diverse in taste. As a medical student it was great to see this outlook on diet and I have personally cooked a few of the recipes myself and loved them.

nama saya Fitri berasal dari Indonesia, saya mengikuti coursera dan mempelajari tentang pengantar makanan karena saya ingin mengedukasi masyarakat di indonesia mengenai pola makan yang baik, apalagi di Indonesia angka penyakit sindrom metabolik setiap tahunnya selalu meningkat. penjelasan yang disampaikan oleh Ibu Maya Adam, MD sangat membantu saya membuka pandangan saya mengenai hubungan makanan dengan kesehatan

Gracias infinitas, fue una experiencia maravillosa poder estudiar con ustedes, el curso es muy instructivo, ME ENCANTO, aprendi mucho y reafirme conocimientos que ya poseia. las clases son sencillas y de facil comprension. Gracias por ayudar a quienes no tenemos recursos a poder tener un aprendizaje de calidad. Que Dios les bendiga y les compense con creces la bondad de sus corazones.

Les Bendigo siempre

Introduction to food and heath opened my eyes to underlining issues on food and health pertaining to human nutrition, shopping, cooking and relationship with food. I was able to understand that while sensitizing humans on food, nutrients should not be the only phenomenon to capitalize on because humans tend to focus on nutrients and leave a lot of important factors out which lead to bad eating habits.

Thank you.

i really enjoyed this course. even though we don't have nearly as many processed foods as the regular american, i felt i still learnt a lot about ingredient labels and it definitely got me thinking about making more healthy choices. i really liked the visuals and some of the images just stuck, like the idea of smaller plates and first thinking about the vege component rather than the protein component of a meal
