Press Herald interviews Camire on seaweed consumption
In an article about consumer reactions to seaweed, the Portland Press Herald interviewed Mary Ellen Camire, professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of Maine, on food neophobia — the fear of trying new foods. “Americans tend to rely on things they’re familiar with — the meat and potatoes crowd, the kids who only eat french fries and chicken nuggets,” Camire said. “There are people who just don’t want to deviate and to be more food adventurous.”
