It was an amazing course that allowed for me to be much more conscious of what I was eating and pushed me to strive to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Overall, it was very entertaining and informative!

It was an interesting and informative, at a basis level, course. The information is easy to understand and the new gained knowledges tend to remain in your memory, due to short and interactive videos.

This course was very disappointing and with extremely simple and basic information. It's eating and nutrition for those who have no knowledge about it at all.

This was a very basic course on nutrition. If you have any knowledge on basic nutrition, cooking, and eating this is not the course for you.

Way too short and far too easy. The videos do not need watching to complete quizzes. This is the most common sense approach to nutrition.

Really poor. It of course depends on the level you are at. But this is aimed for an absolute beginner. Really disappointed. Waste of time

Well, this course definetely has a clear message and a good purpose. However, it is very basic and coursera might not the right platform.

I am a scientist and I prefer advice from primary sources rather than journalists who give no citations.
Besides, the course is trivial.

You do not need to take the course to know about healthy eating. Complete waste of time. Finished in less than 30 minutes altogether.

I feel dumber for having taken this course. I was looking for courses in Food Science, and ended up up with a home-ec class.

Very Biased towards high carb vegan diets, and describes outdated information regarding saturated fats and animal protein.

Very basic information. I was disappointed because I was looking to dive past a middle school understanding of nutrition.

Not about the actual effect of food on your health, it's just a cookbook.
