The Final Word on Foods and Nutrition

By Suzanne Hajto Contributor

Can’t we all just get along?

As a Foods and Nutrition major, my workload is a never-ending mix of attending classes, labs and tuto- rials. All of which require the comple- tion of assignments, papers, case stud- ies, midterms, lab exams and finals. | can barely come up for a breath: let alone a beer at the Wave on a Wednesday night. It is reassuring to know my fellow Science majors can relate to this demanding schedule. Having said this, it is apparent that stu- dents of the pure science departments do not feel Foods and Nutrition is wor- thy of the all B.Sc. designation. In response to the article “The bathroom Edition: Part I”, | can no longer shrug off comments directed towards Foods and Nutrition Majors insinuating that we do not measure up. This article made the comment that “Dalton Hall is NOT a science faculty building.” As tempting as it may be to retaliate, instead | have tried to understand the root of this misunderstanding. Ignorance stems from a lack of knowl- edge, so | would like to take this oppor-

PEERLESS, tunity to shed light on the Foods and Nutrition degree. In order to graduate, we must complete courses like Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry Il, Microbiology as well as Human Metabolism. We attend these courses alongside other science majors doing the same as us; striving to succeed in these loaded courses. This should earn us some recognition, plus unlike other science degree programs at UPEI, Foods and Nutrition majors can apply knowledge learned in the class- room as early as second year. We apply our learned skills as interns and as volunteers in areas revolving around our course of study such as within the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and at the Canadian Diabetes Association. This article should have eradicated any pre-conceived notions pertaining to the Foods and Nutrition major. If anything, this article should leave the impression that derogative comments directed towards us do not go unnoticed. In conclusion, | am proud to be within a department that focuses on the application of sciences to improve the lives of others through nutrition.
