The Tulane University School of Medieine in New Orleans has added an unconventional course to its curriculum. Medical students can now take cooking classes in addition to their usual training. This is intended to enrich doctors' nutritional knowledge and encourage them to use food to prevent or cure illness.

According to a survey, most medical students in the U. S. receive an average of 20 hours of nutritional education throughout their entire education. This is an extremely low number, especially when one considers that diet is at the core(核心)of many modern Western diseases. From Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, reflux to obesity, allergies, depression and arthritis, eating the right foods can go a long way towards recovery, while significantly reducing dependency on medicinal drugs.

A big part of the problem is that nutritional guidelines in North America are vague, impractical, and difficult to apply. Everyone, from doctors to schoolchildren, learns about specific nutrients and percentages of recommended daily intakes, but that doesn't translate easily to the grocery store.

Training doctors to cook, however, takes nutritional education to a whole new 1evel. Not only will doctors be able to explain which foods are best to eat, but they will also understand how to prepare them. Tulane medical students prepare for teaching future patients by offering free cooking classes to New Orleans residents-a mutually beneficial arrangement for everyone.

　　Fortunately, the model seems to be catching on. Already two other medical schools have licensed the course and are adding it to their curriculums. Tulane also offers nutritional training for health focused chefs from a nearby cooking school, which makes a lot of sense. After all, North Americans eat out with a high frequency, so we could all benefit from chefs who know how to balance nutrition with great taste.
