Science informs nutrition.  What informs science?

From the four humors to the discovery of vitamins, Food Revolutions examines our changing notions of healthy eating over two centuries.  This exhibition brings together medical books, cookbooks, scientific publications, and dieting texts to illustrate our ongoing quest for health, and our changing relationships with food.  Food Revolutions will be on display in the Ellis Library Colonnade March 2-29, 2012.

Ingolf Gruen, associate professor in the Department of Food Science, will give an opening talk entitled “Food Revolutions: How Science Changed the Way We Eat,” on March 6 at 2:30 in the Ellis Library Colonnade.  The exhibition and lecture are events affiliated with Food Sense, the eighth annual Life Sciences and Society Symposium.  The symposium will take place on the MU campus March 16-18.
