Animal and plant production provide human society with a myriad of useful products. However, these products are not only provided to the consumer in their raw form; they are often processed in some manner. Processing changes the raw product in some way that may be more convenient for the consumer; it may make the product safer for the consumer to consume, or it may make the product more attractive to the consumer.
