Constant Formula in Food Science
post #2 of 2

In my opinion there’s no such thing! In a way, the one outstanding fact or “constant” about food is its diversity and complexity and irreducibility. And then there’s the variability of our experience of food, depending the taste and smell receptors that our parents gave us, and our life experiences, early and late. I don’t think we’ll ever find an E=mc^2 for food.
