Talk:Food

Introduction

I made a general summary of food as it relates to the world, which is consistent with the illustration and moved the other information to its own respective section. USchick (talk) 17:56, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

The types of food eaten can be affected by culture and religion. Ralphlauren12421432 (talk) 19:31, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Removed sentence that didn't belong

I'm in the process of copy editing this article, and I just removed the sentence "One of the earliest food recipes made from ground chickpeas is called hummus, which can be traced back to Ancient Egypt." I removed it because it was in the middle of the "Food sources" section, stuck in a discussion about seeds. I'm posting it here because perhaps there is somewhere else in the article where it would make sense to have it.Spock of Vulcan (talk) 04:50, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Chronology of sections

This is how it looks like at the moment:

• 1 Food sources
• 1.1 Plants
• 1.2 Animals
• 2 Production
• 3 Cuisine preparation
• 3.1 Taste perception
• 3.2 Presentation
• 3.3 Contrast in texture
• 3.4 Contrast in taste
• 3.5 Food preparation
• 3.6 Restaurants
• 3.7 Food manufacture
• 4 Commercial trade
• 4.1 International exports and imports
• 4.2 Marketing and retailing
• 4.3 Prices
• 5 Waste
• 6 Famine and hunger
• 6.1 Preventing waste
• 6.2 Food aid
• 7 Safety
• 7.1 Allergies
• 8 Diet
• 8.1 Cultural and religious diets
• 8.2 Diet deficiencies
• 8.3 Moral, ethical, and health conscious diet
• 9 Nutrition and dietary problems
• 10 Legal definition
• 11 Types of food
• 12 See also
• 13 Notes
• 14 References
• 15 Further reading
• 16 External links

I think it would be more logical to have the arrangement like so

• 10 Legal definition --> MERGE WITH description
• 11 Types of food --> MERGE WITH 1 Food sources , 1.1 Plants, 1.2 Animals
• 2 Production
• 3 Cuisine preparation
• 3.1 Taste perception
• 3.2 Presentation
• 3.3 Contrast in texture
• 3.4 Contrast in taste
• 3.5 Food preparation
• 3.6 Restaurants
• 3.7 Food manufacture
• 8 Diet
• 8.1 Cultural and religious diets
• 8.2 Diet deficiencies
• 8.3 Moral, ethical, and health conscious diet
• 9 Nutrition and dietary problems
• 7.1 Allergies
• 5 Waste
• 6 Famine and hunger
• 6.1 Preventing waste
• 6.2 Food aid
• 4 Commercial trade
• 4.1 International exports and imports
• 4.2 Marketing and retailing
• 4.3 Prices
• 7 Safety
• 12 See also
• 13 Notes

See gene expression and excerpt ...

The revelation that plant microRNAs play a role in controlling human physiology highlights the fact that our bodies are highly integrated ecosystems. Zhang says the findings may also illuminate our understanding of co-evolution, a process in which genetic changes in one species trigger changes in another. For example, our ability to digest the lactose in milk after infancy arose after we domesticated cattle. Could the plants we cultivated have altered us as well? Zhang’s study is another reminder that nothing in nature exists in isolation.
