Does being a veterinarian have to mean being a vegetarian as well? Nikhita Parandekar grad thinks not. 

When you buy strawberries at the grocery store, do you think about the last person who touched them? As a food safety expert, Prof. Robert Gravani, food science, does.

In this week's Ithaca Reviewed Kevin Boyd discusses the many merits of the Giving Tree Café, the replacement for ABC Café.

Kevin tells a tale of simple salad spinners.

About a month ago, over 1,000 people first started signing a petition lobbying for the return of Nutritional Sciences 200: Vegetarian Nutrition, a former course taught by Prof. T. Colin Campbell, one of the world’s leading researchers in the field. The petition claims that Cornell’s abrupt removal of the course and refusal to disclose an explanation was “clearly a violation of academic freedom.”

The course was pulled back in 2005, and Campbell has spent the last few years attempting to settle the matter internally with the University.

For more than a handful of food industry executives, T. Colin Campbell, nutritional sciences, is public enemy number one.

“It’s really between me and the dairy industry,” he said.

Campbell is the son of a dairy farmer and the first in his family to attend college. He grew up glugging milk like any good Virginian farm boy. Why, then, is he a self-described heretic in the nutrition community?

Campbell is a professor emeritus in nutritional sciences, but he is known worldwide for his best-selling book The China Study. Co-authored by Campbell’s son Thomas ’99, The China Study places Campbell’s most famous project within the context of his research at large.
