Most of us never think about food beyond taste and convenience. But behind the scenes, scientists are quietly redesigning what food is and how it is made.
David Julian McClements is a Distinguished Professor of Food Science who has spent his career studying how food works at a structural level. Not just what it contains, but how it behaves, how it can be engineered, and how science may reshape how we feed a growing planet.
In this conversation, we explore why plant based foods exist, whether they are actually healthier, how meat can be grown without animals, and how 3D printed food may soon move from science fiction into everyday life.
This is not about giving up meat. It is about understanding how food itself is changing.
