HEALTHFUL EATING

Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers, and other diseases are heavily influenced by diet and lifestyle. Students learn about the connections between the Standard American Diet and health, and discuss ways that informed dietary choices can help prevent or relieve diseases. We also explore how modern farming and agricultural practices contribute to present-day public health concerns. The latest meat and plant-based food science technologies are also discussed.

CELL-BASED & PLANT-BASED TECHNOLOGIES

Students will discover how food science innovations have the potential to revolutionize modern food production and consumption systems, as well as address health, sustainability and ethical concerns. Participants explore plant-based meats, cultivated (cell-based) meats, and "animal-free" dairy and egg technologies, taking an in-depth look at the science behind their production, as well as the benefits, with a vision for a more sustainable, healthy and compassionate food system.

THE ETHICS OF EATING

This presentation includes many of the topics included in the previous presentations. Students comprehensively explore the impacts of food choices on human health, the environment, and animals in modern animal agriculture. They consider solutions for reducing the risk of deadly diseases and viruses, investigate ways to create a more sustainable planet, and learn about new food technologies that may address the negative impacts of our current food system.
