Rethinking Golden Age Gourmet

Abstract: Eating well contributes greatly to the quality of ageing. Yet many golden agers have diet restrictions or health conditions that make that challenging. Corporates, NGOs, and academia have all put great efforts into elevating the golden age dining experience, transforming the look and feel, taste and texture, and services for the betterment of the daily lives of older adults.
