While reading this op https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215881060
I got to thinking about the importance of food items and where they originated.
There's a LOT of information available here at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_food_origins
so have a look and you may be pleasantly surprised. Or maybe not. Here's a
sample:
'Current importance of food origins:
In 2016, researchers linked the origins and primary regions of diversity ("areas typically including the locations of the initial domestication of crops, encompassing the primary geographical zones of crop variation generated since that time, and containing relatively high species richness in crop wild relatives" of food and agricultural crops with their current importance around the world in modern national food supplies and agricultural production.
The results indicated that national diets and farm production around the world were generally composed of a large set of crops from many diverse origins. Foreign crops (crops whose origins do not include the same region as the country) comprised 68.7% of national food supplies as a global mean, and their usage has increased in the last fifty years.'
I've edited the above into paragraphs to make it easier to read. Enjoy!
