Iconic food and gustatory moments in history.

The Fight for 15
I’ve been within the fast-food industry since I was sixteen years old (nearly eighteen years now), and I’ve seen the worst and the best of it. When I started, as a school kid just looking for some extra cash, minimum wage was just that here in New York. Minimum money for minimum work. We were only ever asked to do one thing at a time, and even our managers barely did one thing. Everyone had a place or a piece of the puzzle they handled, and the machine worked. Mostly. Sure, you would get that one customer who would come in and scream in your face, and the managers would look away, but it was rare (at least in my experience—guess I might have just been lucky).

How food helped shape history
The absorption and utilization of food by the body is fundamental to nutrition and is facilitated by digestion. Plants, which convert solar energy to food by photosynthesis, are the primary food source. Animals that feed on plants often serve as sources of food for other animals. To learn more about the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism, see food chain.Hunting and gathering, horticulture, pastoralism, and the development of agriculture are the primary means by which humans have adapted to their environments to feed themselves. Food has long served as a carrier of culture in human societies and has been a driving force for globalization. This was especially the case during the early phases of European trade and colonial expansion, when foods such as the hot red pepper, corn (maize), and sweet potatoes spread throughout Europe to Africa and Asia.

THE COCA-COLA COMPANY History
In July 1886, pharmacist John Stith Pemberton from Columbus, Georgia invented the original Coca-Cola drink, which was advertised as helpful in the relief of headache, to be placed primarily on sale in drugstores as a medicinal beverage, Pemberton continued mixing experiments and reached his goal during the month of May, the new product as yet unnamed nor a carbonated drink, was ready for the market and was made available for sale. Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the product and creating its logo. Robinson chose the name Coca-Cola because of its two main ingredients (coca leaves and kola nuts) and because it sounded like an alliteration. John Pemberton had taken a break and left Robinson to make and promote, as well as sell Coca-Cola on his own. He promoted the drink with the limited budget that he had, and succeeded.

Pad Thai: Noodle is Your Lunch
This article was originally posted at Adventures in Food and Word. I remember very distinctly sitting in a restaurant as a child with my mother and uncle in Lansing, a city with a much broader selection of world cuisine than Kalamazoo. It was a restaurant that my uncle liked for its chicken pad thai, which I had never heard of in my entire (admittedly short) life.

Why the King of England Banned Coffee
In 1652, an enterprising dealer started selling a new drug out of an alley in London. The drug promised its users extra energy, focus, and alertness. The dealer made a lot of money — the stimulant he sold was a big hit. Its users soon became addicted and came back again and again. Soon copycats were importing the stuff; the drug was everywhere on London’s streets. Addicts began to organize their social lives around the drug’s consumption, spending their afternoons in special places built just for ingesting it. It’s no wonder that the government eventually moved to ban the stuff. I’m writing, of course, about the scourge of coffee in British society.
