Discuss both views and give your opinion? Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Some individuals have canvassed that

food

science

and its preparation be given a high priority, while others have argued that academic time should be utilized for a more worthwhile course.

This

essay agrees with the former view that

food

science

and processing be considered an important subject of study due to their role in maintaining good

health

and preventing diseases.

This

essay will discuss both views. On the one hand, proponents who argue that studying

food

science

and preparation is worthless believe that there is really nothing special to study in foods. They feel that other factors

such

as taste, cultural beliefs, and

people

's backgrounds have much influence on the choice of

food

than

science

which they believe has little role to play.

people

of western descent are likely to consume cholesterol-rich diets. That being said,

food

plays a pivotal role in the

health

and general well-being of

people

,

therefore

studying its

science

will go a long way to improve the

health

of

people

.

people

with knowledge as regards the essential nutrients in healthy

food

, how best to prepare it, and what kind of foods are to be considered harmful.

health

risk associated with fattening foods are now being identified; thanks to the knowledge of

science

.

Thus

it is easier to prevent these

health

-related problems by avoiding their consumption. In conclusion, though, tastes and social background influence the disposition of

people

to

food

choice, studying the

science

of

food

, as well as its preparation, can help to promote good

health

by fortifying one with the knowledge necessary to avoid harmful

food

.
