The change in the trade route, and the use of new naval technology, gave a very strong boost. This allowed an acceleration of historical changes and a new economic dynamic. A century later, industrialization gave another leap to everything, and manufacturing increased its production, in addition to new means of transportation enabling new trade dynamics, reducing freight time.
From there, I jump to the present. I know the time jump is very abrupt, but I'm running out of space I had planned for today's post. Finally, in the 20th century, we added air transport and an acceleration in the means of land and naval transport. In addition to greater manufacturing speed, and more efficient ways of producing raw materials for processing. With this, we reach a 21st century in which we enjoy the benefits of all the advances, but also certain problems, such as overconsumption, a sedentary lifestyle and other things that harm us.
Considering that the use of raisins and energy bars were to preserve #meals and to provide rations that were long-lasting and had a good weight-quality ratio (which makes them a product very typical of the military field). It may surprise us that we consume them as a treat today, even by people who don't exercise much and have a low calorie demand.
Anyway, I say goodbye, wishing you that you are well and that we can read each other another time.
