The concept of entropy appears to be one of the most difficult ones to understand for students in junior university courses. In order to facilitate comprehending the concept of entropy and its usefulness, it is desirable to provide a few concrete applications. In the present article, 'food science from entropic point of view' has been chosen as an example, where we emphasize, in particular, that the concept of entropy can also play an important role in food science. We point out that, from entropic point of view, ideal foods should satisfy the following two conditions: 1) they should possess entropy as low as possible so that their molecular structures are highly ordered and 2) they should actively participate in biochemical reactions which pump out the produced entropy outside thebody.
