Food During The Middle Age
Science Essay
Ever since man discovered fire, the ways we consumed food changed drastically. We learned how to grill, bake, and steam. In essence, we changed raw and inedible food into delicious and healthy nutrition. We learned how to collect food innovatively and organically through raising livestock and farming produce. We no longer needed to hunt and scavenge for what we needed to survive. But we were able to grow and raise the food at our own will. We also discovered many ways to preserve this food in ways such as freezing, salting, and canning. After many generations have passed and as civilization came and went, different cultures developed their own delicacies and native dishes, so the diets of each food region were unique and different. During the Middle Age, the Silk Road was found. It connected Europe to the Orient, and empires traded native dishes and plants such as noodles and tea with one another, drastically changing the way people ate.

Right now food products are mostly transported by trucks and trains as it is the most efficient and inexpensive way of transportation. However, they have a flaw when connecting between different modes of transportation. the train have to unload the produce and put it on a truck before further progress, this costs valuable time, and there can be new solutions. An innovative way to solve this issue is by connecting a pipeline from the factory directly to a distribution center close to the destination. The pipeline would have a mini maglev system that would transport the food product to its destination at extremely fast speeds similar to the speed of an aircraft. The pipeline would only have one purpose, which would be to transport fresh food products across regions, therefore there would not be any other usage so that the pipeline would be always ready to transport
