Food and Science: Questions for Thought and Discussion


When is the joining of food and science/technology a good thing?  When is the marriage a ‘mixed bag’?  In your opinion, what’s the overall balance, ?


Is molecular gastronomy about eating, art, or science?  Is it a combination of the three? 


Is the government’s connection to technology/science at the root of the public’s fear and paranoia regarding processed food?  Does diet/nutrition matter more than our fears?


What’s a better argument for eating clean, simple, unprocessed, homemade food: A) That it’s nutritionally sounder than processed food?  B) That processed food is beyond our control, hands, etc. and that we don’t trust others to our health any more?  Can you think of any other arguments that are as persuasive as the above two?
