SEMINAR: Integrated Human Studies seminar: Food and nutrition

Human beings evolved eating a variety of fresh seasonal foods, but for many in the first world, media influence and the 24/7 supermarket promote unhealthy food choices. And in some countries, climatic, political or economic factors make food availability uncertain now and in the future. Prof Neville Bruce will give an overview of what human beings need to consume to maintain bodily health; Dr Emma Dove will speak about eating disorders; and Prof Kadambot Siddique will address global issues of food production in the 21st century. Staff, students and members of the public are welcome to attend and to participate in moderated discussion after the talks. Light refreshments will be available.
