      Food science is the applied study of foods.. it can be in lots of different forms such as studying how foods go off, making food processing better, studying the impact of food on the body and a variety of other aspects. Yes I think if you are interested it is a great subject to study.

      Food science study how to make food, where does it come from, how it behaves in different situations, how to measure the quality, if it is safe, if it healthy, etc.
      For me it is a very interesting subject because everybody has to eat, so the more you know about it the more you can do to eat healthier.
