Cravings: Can your food control you?

From the flavours you learned to love in the womb to the very next bite you take, your appetite has been shaped by food. Through personal stories, fascinating objects and cutting-edge science and technology, Cravings explores how food affects your body, brain and eating habits. This new exhibition reveals how not one but two brains work together alongside the hidden world of gut bacteria to affect your cravings. Take part in real neurogastronomy experiments and help researchers uncover how what we see, hear, smell, touch and taste can change our desire for food. Explore the potential of technology to internally control appetite through your nerves, compare how baby animals react to sweet foods, and find out about the world’s first poo bank.
