I’ve taken courses in both the food science department and nutrition. I agree that food science is aimed a lot at marketing, composition etc…

Nutrition is focused on the person. I have a nutrition minor and my courses focused on nutritional biochemistry and management of disease via nutrition. If you’re interested in any sort of health career, I recommend NS over food science.
