From Rationing to Obesity

18 February 2016 19:30-21:00, Newtownards, United Kingdom


Introduction
The experience of dried eggs, limited sugar, glee over a little real butter are fading memories. For most of us ration cards were found in parental roof spaces or seen in a museum. Was that war time diet calculated precisely to ensure maximum fitness with minimum requirements? Is it romanticism to believe that diet during the Wars was more healthy than today's plenteous supply of palatable, convenient and clean food? 

Professor Gibney from the Institute of Food Hygiene and Technology will address this question and tell us how modern nutrition science can help us with current health concerns.

Tea and light refreshments will be served.

Please telephone 028 9182 3202 to reserve a place. There is no charge for attendance and it may be possible to arrange a tour of the Somme Museum prior to the lecture.
