Regional Bias & Organization

This article has a wide discrepancy between sections, including information, and formatting. The article also is very disorganized, for example: Europe and the Mediterranean are each listed twice. Houdinipeter (talk) 14:14, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think this is bias, and I think it’s been more than three years, so we can remove the bias thing at the top. Yoleaux (talk) 23:09, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mixed up headings

Why are some of the section headings on the main page blue and others are black Ningnongtwit (talk) 09:43, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alphabetical order

Why isn't Africa listed first in the list of continents? Wikipedia should not be Amerocentric, it would be better off as a global encyclopaedia... eg encyclo- look it up. Ningnongtwit (talk) 09:47, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you have changed the order. I agree with that change. HiLo48 (talk) 09:59, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

it's also chronologically correct? Seeing as most continents begin with 'A', I'm thinking Europe should appear at the end? Africa, America, Asia, Australia, Austronesia, Europe Ningnongtwit (talk) 10:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Europe at the end. But if by chronological you mean the order by time of where food was found, that would simply be the order in which humans turned up somewhere. That would place the Americas last, North before South. HiLo48 (talk) 18:11, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why do we have pork and beef in Europe?

In the relevant articles, the regions of their domestication indicate territories located in Asia. Colaheed777 (talk) 13:56, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is missing garlics, grapefruits & pomelos.

Self-explanatory. 2806:2F0:55C0:C39A:15CA:39F0:CAB1:2AD8 (talk) 18:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
