Food and Nutrition
Our understanding of what food is has become mired in a complex web of information that spans a diverse range of expertise including medicine, healing, health, farming and agriculture, nutritional science, mass production, genetic modification, cultural perspectives, and government regulation. There is a need to clarify and simplify our orientation to food and healthy eating in order to promote well being, environmental preservation, and cultural progress. [Bookmarks: Food]
