Enjoy your meal : food from every angle
Cité des Sciences et de l’industrie – Porte de la Villette
www.cite-sciences.fr
Eating is one of our major preoccupations as human beings and naturally so. Barely out of the womb, newborn infants clamour for the breast or bottle. They discover the taste of fats and their first flavour, sweetness. But, once they reach adolescence, will these almost independent eaters still be capable of finding their way across the food landscape? Do they know why and what they are eating? Are they able to discover happiness and health on the dinner plate?
From July 3rd to July 25th 2010
