Space food are variety of food that are created and processed for consumption by astronauts in outer space. The NASA early astronauts had to eat in space in order to do a testament. John Glenn was the first American man who went on the moon who ate in a space environment that was weightless, and discovered that the task of eating was fairly easy. Several astronauts ate items that were bite-sized cubes, made from powders and semi liquids which were wrapped in aluminum tubes. Most astronauts agreed that the foods were not fulfilling or unappetizing and dislike the fact that they had to squeeze the food from tube like items. Moreover, the food was hard to rehydrate and crumbs had to be prevented from fouling instruments. The Scientist complained about going on missions to test and improve the food that they ate. The foods that were manufactured were always in squeeze tube. As a matter of fact, the bite-sized were coated with gelatin to reduce crumbling, and the freeze-dried foods were not very tasty (NASA). If they had an improved packages of food the food quality and menus would be more fulfilling for the astronauts. So, the astronauts had food such as: chicken, vegetables, butterscotch pudding, apple sauce and combinations of selective of foods that they would like. However, with the initiation of the Apollo program, the quality of the food was improved with a variety of foods to choose from. The Apollo astronauts were the first to have hot water, resulted in food being rehydrated foods easily. They were also the first to use spoon, bowl, and plastic containers. As years went by, the task of eating in space got a big boost from Skylab; additional, there were tables and rooms for the astronauts to have their lunch. There were ... ... middle of paper ... ...ve also discovered, researched, and experimented in trying to find new ways into growing crop in space. The agency also recently announced plans to grow cress, turnips and much more. In order, for them to do so they will need to protect the plants from harmful radiation and the lack of atmosphere. That is not the only research NASA is trying to experiment on how people can actually live and grow crops on the moon. Moreover, growing plants on the moon would be very challenging because the moon surface temperature is about 150 degree and on the other side it is negative 150 degrees. So, if they had to grow plants on the moon for astronauts to eat, the plants that NASA send up there would be expose to the temperature and harsh radiation. This is just the first step in the experiment of trying to exploring crops on the moon and how astronauts are able to eat in space.

The Oscar Mayer team decided to come up with a product that is known today as Lunchables. Lunchables became a popular product due to the fact it was convenient. The convenience of Lunchables was due to the fact that it was a chilled prepared food. The original Lunchables contained red meat, cheese, crackers, a napkin and a juice. Since the Lunchables gained a lot of attention the producers of Lunchables decided to add various different kinds of Lunchables. Lunchables varied from pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs and more. The new kinds of Lunchables also included sugary drinks and desert such as cookies and or candy. Researchers studied the Lunchables and deemed them a disaster. They stated that Lunchables co...
...ge. Moments in the film, where he gave the harsh reality of his diet made the film more relatable and made the experience real. The foods that so often consumed by society are made and grown using chemicals and although we do not see it happening, it is killing us. The film revealed how the Mc Nuggets are chickens pumped with hormones in order to have unusually large breasts. Then gruesomely placed into a machine whole, where their heads are chopped off, and they then the rest of their bodies, including feces, come out of the machine in the form chicken Mc Nuggets is a gruesome eye opener. Everyone is slowly digging a grave with fast food and ready-made products that we dish up at home. The bagged vegetables that are so useful for Sunday dinners and the Ketchup that we love to load onto French fries and burgers all are loaded to the ‘T’ with nitrates and corn syrup.

Every popular belief of food and nutrition is carefully analyzed and debunked by Pollan using various examples from cultural habits, basic scientific processes and relevant studies and experiments. The vast amount of information from numerous, and likely fraudulent, sources reflect the message he is trying to convey: that food is naturally too complicated to study and perfect in science. Each chapter flows smoothly into the next topic as explanations become clearer and more in-depth. His knowledge in the topic and history is strongly demonstrated as well, building his credibility with his audience.
B. The purpose of this project is to research the evolution in American cuisine throughout the 1900s, towards a more convenience-based pattern of food consumption. The modernization of the United States, particularly in terms of the workforce, will be examined as it relates to a changing diet. Finally, some effects of these changes will be described.
Throughout this chapter Schlosser takes his reader through the journey of the french fry from spud to stomach. Schlosser uses his talents to educate the world about the ins and outs of the processed food and flavor industry, informing the fast food nation, “Why the fries Taste Good.”
If you are abreast with the history, some thousands of years ago, during the Paleolithic Age, cavemen had very few options for the foods that they could eat. As a result, their food intake was usually just restricted to fish, vegetables, nuts and the like.
During her time more than 5,000 women graduated from her department, which became the best in the country. In 1907, Isabel Bevier applied the principles of chemistry to the study of food preparation and preservation. She reported findings about the chemical processes of bread making, and was also the first person in this country to have the idea of using food thermometers to monitor the cooking of meat. Furthermore, she made contributions to our understanding of various means of food substitutes. Likewise, Bevier studied other foods and wrote bulletins and many books including; The House, published in 1907, and Home Economics in Education (1924). Bevier’s “The house” served as the basic introductory textbook for her original course at the University of Illinois. This book also displays Bevier’s views on the importance of applying science to the challenges faced by families, and to the importance of educating women. Her second and final book “Home Economics” illustrated her ideas about home economics
During the time of the movement west, food played an important role in the pioneers day to day life. Food played an important role during the 1800s because it kept people alive during hard times. The pioneers stored their food in many different ways, and they ate, prepared, and made their own food.
Space exploration can lead to the possibility to find useful resources throughout the galaxy for human gain. Many severe problems on earth could be solved through space exploration such as world hunger, overpopulation, and dwindling fuel sources. Things such as fuel could be harvested from planets for power generation and propulsion technology, and land to cultivate for growing food, as well as land for building living areas for the growing population. These potential resources...
Proper nutrition is one of the most essential elements to being healthy and living a long life. People deal with food every day, and food has been a part of life since the beginning of civilization. What we eat becomes our diet, and our diet plays a major role in deciding how healthy we are and how well our body functions. Without proper diet, our body cannot carry out the functions it needs to perform. Most people have some common knowledge on what is good and what is bad for the human body to consume. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains are some common items people think of when they think of healthy foods. However, it is not enough just to know what foods are good for your body, it is also important to understand why certain foods are good for you and what they do to help the body function.
