Ambition Nutrition
George Brown College presents the ‘Ambition Nutrition Symposium: Bridging the Gap between Nutritional Science and Culinary Arts’. The theme of this year’s Symposium is “Obesity: The 40 Year Experiment, why have dietary guidelines of the last 40 years failed to make Canadians healthier?” This symposium will focus on nutrition in theory and practice, as well as examining the gaps and opportunities that exist between research, education, nutrition, diet, and culinary arts.
