TABLE OF CONTENTS

Welcome to the inaugural Let’s Talk About Food Festival, a celebration of food, health, cooking, and science. Part of the Museum’s Let’s Talk About Food initiative, this event spot-lights how food influences our culture, health, and environment. Our goal is to create public

dialogue that leads to civic engagement and ultimately improves the quality of life—and food—for our neighbors and ourselves. So, participate in hands-on activities, taste samples from local vendors, share your perspective on hot-button food issues, and learn from the top-notch chefs, food writers, and experts presenting on the Main Stage. We hope you’ll enjoy exploring the art, science, culture, and critical issues related to that delicious essential of our lives: food.

The Museum of Science and Let’s Talk About Food aim to provide a big tent under which important conversations about our food system can take place. We invite people of all back-grounds, professions, and opinions to learn about the issues, engage in potential solutions, and share their views.

– Thank you for joining the conversation, the Let’s Talk About Food Festival committee

We ask that both participants and festival attendees please be courteous and respectful of each other and all viewpoints shared.
