Food in world history

The essay question:

Has the mass production of foods that were once luxuries but are now commonplace (sugar, white flour, meat) benefited humanity, or harmed it? Explain, using specific examples.

I recommend completing outlines for each with a first sentence, thesis statement (your main idea), three paragraph ideas with specific examples, and the main idea for a conclusion.

Use the source provided in the attached files and use specific examples and please provide the page number as well one the source is used.

It is important that you read and understand the question and use the sources I gave you to answer clearly and in detail.
