I gotta say that I don't like the title at all. How about [[Food, the history of]] or [[Food (the history of)]] or [[Food (history of)]]? As it stands, it sounds to me as if it's the start of a list: Food, history, Henry Ford, calories, blackbirds, pie, etc....

::Well I suppose [[Food, historical roles]] or [[Food, world history]] are OK--note that historians and publishers strongly dislike titles such as "The History of XYZ" and have deliberately avoided them in last decade or two. . We should avoid parentheses in titles. (I put one in the Malthus article and it looks a bit odd). [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 15:56, 17 September 2007 (CDT) | |||
