    Why I Chose Food Science

    Food science is a science that affects every individual all over the world simply because everyone has to eat. It is also a science that draws from and incorporates so many different disciplines. In any one given situation, a food scientists may use principles of nutrition, engineering, chemistry and microbiology just to name a few. Food science is a very diverse as well as all encompassing science.
