Summary: foods in Gemina

Initial Comment:
The following are terms from the Gemina ontology we'd like to have incorporated into EnvO (slashes indicate parentage in Gemina).  I think they would be added under "food":
food/beverage
beverage/apple cider (no cider, but an apple juice)
apple cider/unpasteurized apple cider
orange juice
orange juice/unpasteurized orange juice
cheese/unpasteurized cheese
dairy product/egg
milk/breast milk
milk/unpasteurized milk
dessert
dessert/cake
dessert/cake/cake icing
dessert/chocolate
dessert/custard
beef/ground beef
meat/poultry
poultry/duck
poultry/goose
poultry/turkey
food/mushroom
food/plant
plant/bean
fruit/cantaloupe
plant/peanut
vegetable/spinach
salad/potato salad
salad/salad dressing
seafood/clam
seafood/oyster
seafood/shellfish

I think all these terms should be added, however their parent class "food"
raises an interesting issue that probably requires further discussion...

If the scope of the Environment Ontology is to describe the Environment
relative to a particular organism or biological sample, then these terms
are not "food" to all things. Perhaps they can either be more accurately
grouped under "human food" or should we consider an alternative form of
hierarchical classification? Any thoughts from the philospophers amongst
us?

"What is food to one man is bitter poison to others." - Lucretius
