Is your diet making you dumb?
It has long been established that the nutritional balance of your diet contributes significantly to all aspects of development: physical, intellectual and psychological.
In this session, Dr Fiona Kerr and Chef Simon Bryant ponder such questions as whether the context, surroundings and emotional engagement with food can also affect how our body and mind process the benefit; and could it be how and with whom we eat is just as important as what we eat, and is it the case that the protocol of social eating is not just about 'good manners' but also about 'best practice'?
