"Many prominent foodies now say that you shouldn't eat anything with ingredients a third grader can't pronounce. Matt Teegarden and his friends really, really want you to reconsider that stance:

Teegarden, a PhD candidate in food science at Ohio State University, thinks that folks in his field have been getting a bad rap in recent conversations about food safety.
