Science to Go tells the stories and unravels the science behind of our daily bread. The series explains what we're eating, how it's made, and even what effect different combinations of foods will have on our bodies. For example, who knew eating coleslaw and drinking orange juice with a smoke meat sandwich will negate some of the unhealthy properties of the meat? By showing how food is made, and what food is made of, viewers can gain a new respect for what is on the plate and will allow them to make smarter decisions about what include in their daily diet. ( 13 x 26:00)
