Have you ever wondered how plant based burgers can look, smell, and taste just like real burgers? Are you concerned about your gut health and what probiotics can or maybe can?t do for your health? Or maybe you are worried about GMOs and the potential harm or benefit they can have for society. In this seminar we will explore many of these topics, ranging from plant based foods, lab grown meat, nano technologies in foods, 3-D printed foods, and many more! How do these technologies benefit our society? Why are there some hesitations about these new technologies? What makes society support or oppose these new technologies? This seminar will explore all of these questions to better understand the future of food in our society.
