We stopped by a month later for a tour of what is likely the world's finest ag research facility, a five-acre campus that brings virtually all of the state's ag science departments under one roof. You'll be amazed how many things in this building touch your life every day, from the food you eat or feed your pets, to the medicine you take, to the clothes on your back and the gas or diesel in your vehicle, here's where they make sure it's all up to snuff. And it's also where they weight the official state lottery balls!

For better or worse, science has played a central role in the life and development of human civilization. Now, however, with scientific research and technology developing at an exponential rate the likes of which mankind has never seen before, new issues have been raised. This 5-part documentary series takes an in-depth look at the five key areas of scientific innovation that are likely to have the largest impact on the future of our global society.
A major part of cooking involves delivering heat energy to natural things and transforming them to the state where they can be digested and absorbed. This technique does not stop at simply making food taste good. Professor Wrangham of Harvard University says the ability to produce food through heat is what helped humans evolve.
This episode covers the five taste receptors which are sweet, salty, spicy, bitter, and sour. "Why is sugar sweet?" is the wrong question. "Why does sugar taste sweet to us?" is the right question. Taste doesn't exist in things. It is something our brains create. It is a type of antenna that mankind has developed for survival. It is the ability to consume nutrients and avoid poison.
