Food for Thought! A daily dose of history, Where did food Originate?..?
1915 William Wrigley collects every telephone directory in the United States and mails three sticks of Wrigley Gum to every name and address listed. The ploy works and sales skyrocket. Albert Einstein publishes his general theory of relativity. Whilst working on his theory the Swiss scientist lived on coffee, cheap sausages, and rolls. 1916 The prevalent food of the British army fighting in the Great War is corned beef. The "Tommies" are calling it "bully beef" because it is cooked beef, from the French bouilli for "boiled." Clarence Birdseye, a Government field naturalist, is working as a fur trader in Labrador. He has noticed that freshly caught fish, when placed onto the Arctic ice by the Eskimos and exposed to the icy wind and frigid temperatures, freezes solid almost immediately. Yet when the fish is thawed and eaten, it still has all its fresh characteristics. He has concluded that quickly freezing certain items keeps large crystals from forming. SEE DB

How about this. There are only two methods of getting food (energy for living things). 1. The life form can take energy directly from the source, such as the light from the sun. "autotroph" 2. Those who must consume autotrophs, to get energy. "heterotrpohs", most bacteria, most fungi, all animals and therefore...us humans. So, food began with autotrophs! lol
