Food Science in the News: Taco Bell, Transparency, and Trehalose

I hate the "don't eat it if you can't pronounce it" mentality. I took organic chemistry, I can pronounce some pretty terrible chemicals just fine, but I have trouble saying "quinoa" and "acai" correctly. Oh sure, I'm not your typical consumer, but like most consumers I do favor greater transparency into what I may choose to consume.

This increasing consumer demand for transparency is why I applaud Taco Bell's emphasis on providing nutrition and ingredient information on their website.
