Why Nutrition is (should be) a Social Science

In his presentation “Why Nutrition is (should be) a Social Science” Dr. Fischler shows that eating is both the primary biological function and the primary determinant for early social organisation. Nutrition needs to be interdisciplinary to take this into account: It should integrate socio-anthropological, psychological and nutritional approaches.
