Franken Food: Fact or Science-Fiction revolves around the controversies of food production analogous to a novel about Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein man-made monster. The man-made monster represents the production of processed food that is concocted with chemical additives, growth hormones and bio-engineered ingredients by mad scientists. Consequently, these foods are believed to cause harm and death to consumers as a result of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).Therefore, this book is designed to nurture critical thinking skills where students are actively involved in (1) Exploring controversial issues revolving around their food supply, (2) Reflecting on how these issues are analogous to Frankenstein man-made monster, and (3) Applying the art of critical thinking to develop and validate their own opinions, supported by evidence-based research and to foster trust in the safety of their food supply.About the Author: Dr. Cheryl Rock is an Associate Professor of Food Science at the California State University - Long Beach, California, USAFeatures affiliated with this book: Critical Thinking Activities Key Concepts- Key Words Student Learning Objectives (SLOs) Summary of critical thinking skills required Companion website and online resources for instructors and students
