      Also development of preservation and preparation techniques.

      To that extent: pringles are pressed potato powder. Because it meets the need of a chip that is easily and precisely formed, easily preserved and falls apart with little pressure.

      To describe fast food and highly processed junk foods as anything but engineered does a disservice to the word “engineering”.

        For developing fast food for example you’d want a food science degree rather than a food engineering one.
