Imagine a world without food science.  What would be on the shelves of grocery stores?  Not much, according to a new video from the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). 

“The black and white footage shows empty shelves, rotten fruit, insect-infested grain and spoiled meat to show the realities of a world without food science,” according to IFT.  “The scene changes to color when the voiceover explains how dedicated food science professionals make it possible to have food that is safe, flavorful and nutritious.”  To view the video and related materials, visit the website here.
