Sensory Science
04/11/2013

Sensory Science: The study of how factors such as taste, smell, texture, and appearance affect how people perceive products. This field has become increasingly important in public health and nutrition.

The same thing as delicious
He will simply glare and hate
What is sitting on his plate
