I chose to study food science and technology because I was interested in understanding the link between nutrition and health, particularly how nutrition influences overall wellbeing and disease prevention. I wanted to build a strong scientific foundation that would help me better understand issues like malnutrition and apply practical, evidence-based solutions to improve health outcomes.
