Muriel Bell (04/01/1898 - 02/05/1974) was an esteemed New Zealand nutritionist and medical researcher. A free public lecture is held in her honour at each of the Annual Scientific Meetings of the Nutrition Society of New Zealand.
This year’s lecture was presented by Sheila Skeaff, Professor of Human Nutrition at Otago University, and is titled: “Lick the plate clean: the intersection of food, nutrition and waste”. The phrase to “lick your plate clean” historically meant to eat everything on your plate, either from hunger or because the meal was so delicious. Sheila’s talk will be a 2021 reinterpretation of the phrase and focus on food choice, good nutrition and food waste.
