In Defense of Prccessed Foods
It is fashionable to use the phrase "processed food" as a pejorative term with a concurrent negativity about the role that food scientists play.

What can we do about this dilemma?

Message from the Chair

Dr. Vijay Arora
2012-2013 Chair

"As I sat down to write this message, I couldn't resist but thinking of the Games of the 2012 Olympiad in London, and the fond memory of athletes competing at awe-inspiring levels to win and set new world records! The Olympic motto "Citius - Altius - Fortius" was truly embedded in every athlete's mind and soul."
I believe we can emulate the Olympic motto...
