History of Dining 101

Food, we all need it, we all eat it. In the days when religion was still science, there were a few who tried to defy this natural law, but sadly they all perished. It soon became obvious that those who denied to eat were a threat to humanity and if everybody followed suit, the species would eventually die out as a whole. Thus, the elders of all the villages in the world gathered and sanctified it as a divine law, "Thou shalt eat edible food". (The word 'edible' wasn't present in the original texts, but was later inserted in to curb the 'cannibalism' trend that was growing in Africa at that time. A book was also written by a concerned priest, Imhotep of the Third church of Rah, to define the specifics of the word 'edible'. However, the book turned out to be too vague and later revealed to only contain the priests favourite exquisites and thus pulled from publication. Only the law remains as a proof to the story.)
Parents were then forced to teach their children the law through practice and gradually it became a part of everybody's lives. The idea found its way into human instincts to the point that people would kill each other for food. India was "conquered" by the East India Company for want of its 'spices'. Columbus found America looking for the same spices (he was just too proud to admit his mistake). Before long, many businessmen realized a channel for making money through selling food and opened "food shops" to sell edible foods. These "food shops" would go through many changes over the following centuries, and finally come to be come to modern man as "Restaurants".
