This year’s first column begins with the candid admission that my annual predictions about dining trends have often missed the mark. Far from eating more insects as suggested a few years ago, people remain mostly turned off by bugs, even today.
So, this year I offer an investigation of some mathematics that influence our dining choices. Maths in dining applies to you probably more than you know, even though you may be an individual with uncommon tastes and dining priorities. It is also fun to understand how and why people make certain food choices, and by knowing this, it may even be possible to sway the dining choices of others.
