implications of nutrition science. It was suggested that such a paradigm shift in thinking and approach would lead to a reevaluation of our animal versus plant-based protein requirements, a development and treasuring of existing food systems in the context of the local terrain, climate and culture, and a fostering of the concept of eco-nutrition. The latter theme was importantly revisited by Noel Solomons in the final paper of the symposium. In an erudite and intensely reflective address, he asked delegates to consider the reach and impact of globalization on food, nutrition, and health, and as a consequence to explore the ethical implications of any advocacy of policies and programs to improve conditions in each of these areas. 13
