#Top 20 most important inventions in the history of food and drink Science experts rank the refrigerator as Invention#1. The UK s national academy of science,
What mattered more to the development of civilization s cultivation of food: the oven? The fridge?
That list was voted then on by the Fellows and by a group of experts in the food and drink industry,
These are#per the eminent body of the Royal Society#the top 20 innovations in food and drink,
from the dawn of time to the present day. 1. Refrigeration The use of ice to lower the temperature of and thus preserve food dates back to prehistoric times.
refrigeration has allowed humans to preserve food and, with it, nutrition. It has allowed also for a key innovation in human civilization:
cold beer. 2. Pasteurization/sterilization Useful for the prevention of bacterial contamination in food, particularly milk. 3. Canning Developed in the early 19th century,
canning is a method of preserving food by processing and sealing it in an airtight container.
with flails. 7. Baking This is a food cooking method that employs prolonged, dry heat to cook food.
Baking acts by convection, rather than by thermal radiation, and is undertaken typically in ovens, in hot ashes,
in order to produce food products that are genetically stable. It is also the reason that a bull named Badger-Bluff Fanny Freddie has sired thousands of the dairy cattle in the United states. 9 Grinding/milling Grinding is the process of grinding grain or other materials in a mill.
which is the main ingredient of bread#a staple food for many cultures. The milling of grain has been a practice
The pot The food container was an invention of revolutionary simplicity#one that allowed for such revolutionarily simple acts as boiling water.
this is a kitchen appliance that heats food by a dielectric heating process in which radiation is used to heat the polarized molecules in food.
The microwave is notable mostly as a gateway technology, leading to the culinary innovation of the late 20th century:
Frying The cooking of food in oil or another fat originated in ancient Egypt around 2500 BC.
Scientists at Stanford university have weighed in on the maybe not#side of the debate after an extensive examination of four decades of research comparing organic and conventional foods.
we thought that there would likely be some findings that would support the superiority of organics over conventional food,
Advocates for organic farming said the Stanford researchers failed to appreciate the differences they did find between the two types of food#differences that validated the reasons people usually cite for buying organic.
But because almost everyone gets adequate phosphorus from a wide variety of foods, they said,
Critics of the Stanford study also argue that lumping all organic foods into one analysis misses the greater benefits of certain foods.

and on command will race along an aisle until it reaches its destination#a case of food to retrieve
From the aisle, the robots wait their turn to pull into a special open lane where they deposit each load into an elevator that sends a stream of food cases down to a conveyor belt that leads to a large robot arm.

Schools in more urban regions draw students interested in local foods and healthy eating. Farmland prices have tripled in the U s. in the past decade
Better health through local foods and farmers markets appeal to them, added Weidemann, who noted deans at other universities have observed a similar trend.

can t migrate in the search of food or a mate. So plants had to develop incredibly sensitive and complex sensory mechanisms that would let them survive in ever changing environments.
They need to see where their food is. They need to feel the weather, and they need to smell danger.
Another example of a plant using smell is how a parasitic plant called dodder finds its food.
Sous vide#a process in which food is heated over a very long period in a low-temperature water bath#has been used in high-end restaurants for more than a decade.
now supplies food to grocery stores and the U s. military. Your local Costco or Wegmans may sell perfectly cooked sous vide lamb shanks, osso buco or turkey roulade.
Unlike most meals in the freezer aisle, sous vide food can be reheated in a pot of boiling water
And because sous vide makes it almost impossible to overcook food, it s perfect for the home cook.

And so he has devised a way to convert foods into shell-like containers and films that he calls Wikicells.
Unfortunately, the breast is also masterful at converting these molecules into food in the way of breast milk.#
the hives were empty except for food stores, some pollen, and young bees, with few dead bees nearby.
#Wikicells edible food containers Edible bottles Nature creates its own packaging for perishable foodstuffs. Most fruits and vegetables come prepackaged in delicious edible containers.
The biomedical engineer who came up with huffable food, David Edwards, is customized now developing edible containers for all kinds of food, from juice to wine to chocolate.
The containers, called Wikicells, are made membranes out of a combination of biodegradable polymer and particles of food, held together with electrostatic forces instead of something less appetizing like glue.
The food particles give the membrane flavor, and Edwards has been working on a variety of prototypes,
including an orange-flavored membrane full of orange juice, a tomato-flavored bottle with gazpacho inside, and grape packages that can hold wine.
far from being junk food, popcorn packs a better nutritional punch than fruit or vegetables.
#Americans eat the cheapest food in the world. Unhealthy thanks to bad food. USDA data shows that in 2010 Americans spent 9. 4 percent of their disposable income on food,
which equals 5. 5 percent at home and 3. 9 percent eating out. As a nation, we spend far less of a percentage on our food than we ever have before.
For example, in 1929 we spent 23.4 percent of our disposable income on food, which equaled 20.3 percent at home and 3. 1 percent eating out.
Not only are we spending much less of our money on the foods we eat we eat out far more than ever before,
buying fatty processed and fast foods laden with saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars. When compared to other countries,
our food is by far the cheapest According to Carpe diem: The 5. 5%of disposable income that Americans spend on food at home is less than half the amount of income spent by Germans (11.4%),The french (13.6%),the Italians (14.4),
%and less than one-third the amount of income spent by consumers in South africa (20.1%),Mexico (24.1),
%and Turkey (24.5), %which is about what Americans spent DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION, and far below what consumers spend in Kenya (45.9%)and Pakistan (45.6%).
The big picture is much more grim because of the ecological ramifications of our industrialized food system.
and pesticide-bathed food system. Before Organic Was Organic With American industrialization came the changing face of a food system
which was driven once locally. While we ve used pesticides on our crops since the turn of the 20th century, the sheer quantity has risen to epic proportions.
Conventional foods are modified largely genetically and covered in pesticide residue. But recent findings are showing that Monsanto s Roundup can cause major health problems.
Factory Farming, a Relatively Recent Disaster Cheapening our food supply in such a real way has caused also undue harm to the animals that fall victim to our twisted pricing.
In the end, the new corporate structure of our food system has cheapened our diets in a way the world has seen never.
While food may cost less in the U s, . it s costing us more than we know in terms of our health,
Over time this could evolve into vital data to feed into our global food supply. 5.)Whole Earth Animal Genealogy Project Once again, the same as#3 and#4,

The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month#about $40 worth#according to the Natural resources Defense Council,
In a year, that means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food, the weight of an adult male gorilla.
if the food s not getting eaten, it s not sustainable and it s not a good use of our resources,#Dana Gunders, a sustainable agriculture specialist at the NRDC, said at the Reuters Summit.
In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration.
High food prices are another factor, since some people can t afford the food that s produced,
said Patrick Woodall, research director and senior policy advocate for Food and Water Watch. It s not a situation where you have to massively ramp up production,
