Gray talks about the social impact and ethics of eating food. The article covers mostly North American impacts on food, but I think it would be an interesting article to show students. The article talks about the ethical practices included in production and consumption of foods.

Lichtenstein and Ludwig discuss the relationship between the teachings of Home Economics and the rise in developed diabetes cases present in children. The article states that if students were exposed to Home Economics more, given the subject material of proper food intake, nutrition, home & life habits, they would be less likely to develop diabetes. Given the history of food and nutrition and where North American society currently stands with this topic, I feel that this speaks to the need of Home Economics and consequently connecting Home Economics to sciences.

This article connects chemistry to cooking with very specific examples. The article examines different techniques in cooking that are using a variety of principles from chemistry and outlines how the two are connected. I will be focusing on the section that discusses that chemistry and cooking are very interrelated and that one can be taught by using the other.

The BC Government has released supplemental resources for the current curriculum, which can be found on the above site. This site talks about the expectations of students in the context of the BC Curriculum, with respect to knowledge of body composition, the effect age, gender, time, culture, and environment have on physical activity and motivation. I want to reference this in my paper because in order to understand most of these ideas, one must have an understanding of science, math, social norms, social responsibilities, and critical thinking. While it is not directly stated in this document, my belief is that many of these topics are not being covered in the physical education classroom.

This paper discusses the connection between being a teacher and talking about food and the home. Höijer, Hjälmeskog, and Fjellström conducted their research by organizing focus groups with participants that had experience teaching Home Economics. The findings show that the main themes of Home Economics in Sweden are food with a purpose, teachers with a public health commission, the fostering teacher, tangible cooking and the deficient home. The conclusion states that Home Economics serves as a bridge for proper knowledge of food and food in relation to a deficient home and thus has a purpose.
