\u201cFood Sense\u201d taking registrations<\/strong>
\nJoin the MU Life Sciences & Society Program at its annual symposium \u201cFood Sense,\u201d Mar. 16-18, 2012 on the Columbia campus. The department\u2019s website says this about the event:<\/p>\n

\u201cCan sensible eating be reconciled with the sensory gratification of taste? And where does our sense of a normal or a healthy diet come from? This symposium will investigate how our taste for food is shaped by biological triggers, cultural norms, economic activity, and social surroundings and will examine how individuals, communities, and societies can make healthy choices about food in this context. We will gather experts in nutrition, taste science, psychology, cultural studies, marketing analysis, and food-science journalism, as well as chefs, to explore why we eat the way we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
