Futritionist is a place for curious forward-thinkers to explore the nexus of nutrition and futurology with an off-duty clinical dietitian.
If you love food and nutrition, futurism, science, and culture, you’re in the right place.
If you don’t care about any of those things but you’re trying to look busy at work, you’re also in the right place.
Why is this nutrition/futurism connection important? Because nutrition is the foundation of every way that we interact with the world.
Whether your vision of the future is a high-tech, space-exploring, non-scarcity paradise or a dystopian hellscape (or a little of column A, a little of column B), future-humans will still (probably) need to eat. And even if you envision a future where nutrition no longer matters, our nutritional science game will have to be on point to get us there.
Futritionist explores topics like menu fatigue on long term space missions, endocrine changes in zero-G, culinary lessons from HI-SEAS, and more. Although these subjects are heavily speculative in nature, articles here are based on science and referenced where appropriate.
*** Not medical advice *** Not really non-medical advice, either. If you are in need of medical nutrition therapy or nutritional counseling, search here for a RDN/LDN in your area.
