DESCRIPTION:The lecture will show how we have come to understand what food
  does for us by a tortuous process which has included many misunderstandin
 gs and to which Cambridge people have made a number of notable contributio
 ns. I will examine the effects of dietary regimes\, some of them extremely
  fanciful and will explain why it is that many in the developed world are 
 now over-fed and under-nourished.\n\nStephen Halliday was educated at Bren
 twood School\, Essex\, and read history at Pembroke College\, Cambridge He
  worked in industry for sixteen years where he launched Hellmann's Mayonna
 ise in the United Kingdom. In 1998 he completed a Ph.D. on Sir Joseph Baza
 lgette and the Main Drainage of London which became his best-selling book 
 The Great Stink of London: Sir Joseph Bazalgette and the Cleansing of the 
 Victorian Metropolis. The book has been featured in many radio and televis
 ion programmes. Stephen lives in Cambridge where he lectures at the Univer
 sity's Institute of Continuing Education and is married to Jane\, a midwif
 e at Addenbrooke's Rosie Maternity Hospital.\n\n
