[Grad-Cap Icon] Training

Attitudes about the industrialization of food have changed greatly over the past several decades. What used to be considered a scientific miracle now seems like a horrific joke: piglets being reared in incubators that look like tiny iron lungs; fish raised in tanks of runoff water -- and growing at a remarkable rate! -- from a nuclear power plant. These scenarios and more are presented in Diet as it traces the rise and fall of processed food, from promising cure for malnourishment to eventually being linked to obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Participants are welcome to bring their lunch. Registration is encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome.
