ABSTRACT

The Journal of Consumer Studies and Home Economics provides useful and informative background material for consumer education teaching, as does the Open University Consumer Decisions short course. Food From Waste, Adrian Walker. A proposal for saving money and resources both in the context of the UK and the global situation. Changing Food Habits in the United Kingdom, Chris Wardle. Appraisal of the factors affecting diet, social, economic and political. Many of the materials as resources have been produced by pressure groups with special interests. Teachers might also like to look at the materials produced by manufacturers as educational materials. Food features particularly strongly, sugar, sweets, dairy produce. Teachers could use this as an exercise to consider the apparent confusion in manufacturers minds between education and advertising. However teachers may find that they are necessarily led further into certain topics, such as food, energy, labelling, and health and safety.
