Why is it nutrition as a field of study considered a science as well as an art?

Question

The scope of nutrition is interrelated, not only with medicine and allied health sciences, but also in arts and managerial fields.

Answer 1

Nutrition is a art if you are training to be a culinary specialist, ie food is art and knowing what is good and what is not is part of that. This also ties into managerial fields, anything with food or food service has managerial positions, even at cafeterias! So there are actual two distinct forms of nutrition, on which specializes in a medicinal way, and the other that specializes towards feeding people. (BS vs BA basically, but not quite).
