“Big Food: Health, Culture and the Evolution of Eating” opens on Feb. 11 and runs through Dec. 2. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Peabody, the Community Alliance for Research and Engagement (CARE) at the Yale School of Public Health, and the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.
Visitors to the newest exhibition at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History will have an opportunity to investigate our origins as hunter-gatherers, explore an interactive timeline on the history of food, and identify popular processed foods by only their ingredients.
