== My scratch pad == 

 Below is my "scratch pad" for ideas to expand and include in stubs. 

 Food processing: 

 * Prehistoric cooking over fire, smoking, steaming, oven baking, salting 
 * Fermentation 
 * More recently: canning (Nicolas Appert), pickling, Pasteur, packaging 

 Show benefits (toxin removal, preservation, flavor, marketing, distribution, consistency). 

 Reference the raw food diet for a counterpoint. 

 Extremes include deadly fugu fish, space station food, wine making, hot dogs, and "chicken nuggets".
