Who came up with the idea to grab this, that, this, add a few chemicals, few additives, few coloring potions, add some things taken from something else..mesh it all together a few different ways and create a new "food".

Your sentence reminded me of how ethic groups use spices in ways we're not familiar with. Here in North America we think of cinnamon to be used in deserts.Well the middle eastern culture uses cinnamon and allspice in main meat dishes and now I do the same. I never would have thought to use cinnamon that way. Theres another middle eastern dish made with the green garlic tops chopped and sauteed, then eggs are added and the whole thing is scrambled. When it's done you cut a lemon in half and squeeze it over the whole thing and eat with pita bread. Who would think of mixing eggs with lemons but I honestly can't eat it, without lemons now.
