About the Author(s)

Velda L. Largen - was a high school home economics teacher and department head in Missouri. During her career she developed a World Foods course, which later inspired her to write the Guide to Good Food text and its supplements.

Deborah L. Bence - attended Miami University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in home economics education. She taught family and consumer sciences at the middle school level before turning her focus to the writing and development of instructional materials. Deborah worked as an editor for an educational publisher for almost 20 years, applying her teaching and subject matter knowledge to creating textbooks and supplements for FCS classrooms, with an emphasis on foods and nutrition. Deborah considers herself to be a lifelong learner as well as an educator.
