Same. I talk to my boss about this all of the time. Like how many times did they try making pasta before they got it right? How many times did they cook meat until they found that it was safe to eat at a certain temperature? Who looked at grapes and went "The juices from those will make a nice alcoholic beverage"? Who looked at pineapples, and thought it should be cut open?
Its all based on trial and error. We are naturally curious of our surroundings so we just try one thing after the other of what we think tastes good and what is good for us. And yes there is a lot of death involved.
1. They watched what plants other mammals could eat.
2. Pasta was originally just deep fried dough.
3. Cooking temperature recommendations are fairly recent, and are based on microbiology.
4. People noticed that animals who eat rotting fruit started acting silly.
5. See number 1.
#4 is pretty funny
Someone just sees a deer acting dumb after eating old as shit food and he's like ''i gonna eat that shit and act like an idiot too''
An then everyone wanna eat the shit and act like idiot
Humans are weird
Well, there are also some plants animals can eat that we can't. Holly berries, milkweed (monarch butterflies), nightshade... there are also animals that can eat other animals that would be poisonous to us.. sea turtles eating jellyfish, american possums can eat cane toads, and Tiger Sharks can eat puffer fish, and the poisonous part, whole.
It sucks doesn't it
Like you don't know what's okay to do before you actually do it which means you either gonna be okay or fuck up
How many people know they're allergic to peanut butter before they actually eat peanut butter and get the allergic!
Do you see how risky living is
You're just doing your own shit, eating stuffsthat are normal and bam, you're dead!
