Food is so complicated – making it, growing it, choosing what to eat of it.
It’s tempting to say this is relatively recent, but if you could travel back in time to talk to the farmers who started selectively breeding corn from teosinte, they’d probably tell you figuring that out was no walk in the park. From a relatively slender stalk of segmented grass, thousands of years later we can now fatten a steer, sweeten a soda and drive a car all on the same crop.
Such advances in productivity no longer take millennia – instead, decades or only years.
