The funny thing about food safety as a science is that your discoveries cause people to stop eating stuff they really like and have been eating for ages without much of an issue. Instead of say, discovering the cure for cancer or how to stop climate change, your discovery generally causes anxiety and the realization of suffering in people who never even knew they had a problem in the first place. After you tell them what's in their food, that plate of hormone-laced, E. coli:0157-contaminated (among the many other bugs), dioxin-permeated steak tartare just doesn't look the same anymore.
Regardless of the grim nature of my field of work, I really hope I'm onto something here! All I know is that food safety is just so bloody cool!
