In this day and age many people are interested in more than just the nutritional value of food. They want to know where their food comes from, its impact on the economy and the environment. Rather than just majoring in nutrition, there are more and more colleges where you can study food science. This growing program connects food studies with other disciplines like business, health science, agriculture, the economy, and is "being embraced by students interested in new careers in food safety reform, local-food businesses and anti-obesity, equity and climate efforts, as well as those seeking broader contexts for traditional disciplines like culinary arts and farming."
