It's not completely bad, and I suppose for a complete beginner, maybe an American person who had multiple generations living off fast food and never having chopped an onion is a really cool introductory class, but otherwise I haven't learnt anything now. Not a single thing! And some of the information is geniunely misleading , even the interview cuts are almost suspicious as how biased they are towards the meat and milk industry. It really breaks my heart to see how corrupted information these days is and how little it is questioned in the best case scenario, and down right intentioanlly misleading in the worst case scenario. I'm geniunely surprised to see a medical staff be either misinformed or misinform others on purpose by the presures or incentives of the meat and dariy industry. I would personally not recomment this class and I'm happy I didn't make the certificate and waste money on this. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, it is ALWAYS problematic to take nutrition advice from medical staff that has typically had less training in it than you yourself have. I mean seriously, it's abuse of social status and academic title. No one would accept to be cut open and have a surgery from a doctor of physics, just because they have the title of doctor in their name. So why do we accept nutritional advice or in this case an actual course ! from someone who clearly isn't a trained nutritionist or health expert. Beware ! Medics are NOT health experts, they are disease experts ! It is NOT the same thing!

While the information provided was helpful in some cases, I highly disagree with the staff behind this writing that veganism is, quote, "the least sustainable method" as a food solution. That's simply untrue to say; that spreads misinformation about the lifestyle choice, and only further encourages people to not consider it for themselves. I understand trying to be reasonable, as the common western citizen consumes meat and dairy and God forbid you hurt anyone's feelings, but there is no need to spread mistruths for the sake of saving someone's feelings. Overall it was a good course, and I'm grateful to have learned something through Stanford, I just disagree with a lot of the information presented within the course (namely, that veganism is unsustainable and that fish is safe, and furthermore nutritious to eat - spoiler, it really isn't, and overfishing is a serious issue that this course seems to mention nothing of at all when discussing it as a food choice). Plus, a lot of what was discussed, I was already educated on. So I sincerely wish it was more in-depth, thorough, and more respectful to dietary/lifestyle choices outside of the omnivore perspective. Thank you to both the Stanford and Coursera communities for providing this course as a tool to better health and wellness in this world that often makes it feel almost impossible.

I’m studying nutrition from a while now and I’m following who for me are the bests doctors and there are many info that are not exactly what I aspected... I’m more towards the vegan diet for the health benefits first but not only and seeing what you do advise to eat make me wander if there are some other interests apart from health that bring you to create a course structured like it is..

I watched only the first recipe about crepes just because I thought was part of the course and I would never personally give that to my kids! Eggs, milk, sugar, butter 😱😱😱

Anyway, I will not spend the money for the certificate only to be able to say that I studied a Stanford’s course..... and I will probably not advise to anyone this course unlikely.

I just think that we have to know better and dr.Dean Ornish, Micheal Gregor, Neal Bernard and many more demonstrated that cure, prevention and reversing diseases is possible with a low fat vegan diet so I don’t understand why at the begin of the course you mention that the science is not sure yet about the best diet yet......... there are no doubts about what is the best, but often is not comfortable for the single person and for sure isn’t for the big industry!

The very first lesson implies that sufficient quantities of micronutrients can't be obtained from a diet high in animal-based proteins and fats. In reality, organ meats and egg yolks are higher in micronutrients than many fruits and vegetables, and only small amounts of dark-colored veggies and fruits are required to balance a diet that already contains a variety of meats (as far as both species and cut). The body is also better able to synthesize glucose (or utilize ketones instead of glucose to fuel cell function) than to synthesize amino acids, which are more easily obtained in the correct amounts from animal sources. Plant-based diets work for some people, but if blood sugar levels, chronic inflammation and/or amino acid intake are issues that an individual needs to take into careful consideration, a high-fat, low-carb, diet with a variety of animal products is more likely to meet their needs.

If you know literally NOTHING about nutrition this is a good place to start, if you however have any sort of understanding of fats, protein and carbs, even the knowledge of what they are, on a broad scale, then you probably already know more than this course will teach you.

It was a good reminder of healthy eating nonetheless.

The recipes in the last module were good, but as someone who doesn't care much for sweet stuff it left me kinda bummed. I wished there were more main meal recipes rather than recipes to cook all your favorite desserts in a gluten free way. I know they had to plug Grokker and get that shameless self-promotion, I am not opposed to that, but they could have chosen more diverse recipes.

If you are trying to get people to eat healthier you should give them something quick and easy, not a recipe for pancakes that takes 4 different kinds of flours.

This is really just an introduction. It's extremely short with no details on why the nutrients are important, I expected more from a school of medicine. I gave up on the class after the condescending "don't cut yourself with the knife !" and after the teacher said that one of the essential items to always have in the kitchen is oil, garlic (...) and SUGAR ! Isn't the point of having a health class to avoid that white refined sugar she's talking about ? What about spices ?? I don't know if they talk about it in the cooking workshop but I'm not interested in watching further.
