Guest guest Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hi to all: We are done with our report on food trends for 2011 and we made an analysis to the year 1870: Food and Health Communications 2011 Food Trend Predictions 2011 Trends Same as 1870 We are still experiencing the same trend in food that has been going on since 1870. One word describes it: efficiency. It applies to every stage of food production. Why did I pick 1870? That is the year when the percentage of farmers went from 58% to 47% in this country, which illustrates agricultural efficiency as a population statistic. A middling purifier was invented to produce a superior flour (more food processing). The first weather report was transmitted by telegraph. Later in 1872, many fruits and vegetables were improved through better agricultural methods. And in 1874 margarine was produced. And also in this year the pressure cooker was invented to cook faster. (Source: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/timeline/comp.htm ) Everyone wants more for less effort, which is how we become more efficient and progress as a society. This still applies to our modern food chain: Read the trends here: http://foodandhealth.com/blog/2010/12/2011-trends-same-as-1870/ Feel free to pass along or use as needed - if you have more to add or requests just put them in our comments box.
