Rosen: One cannot prepare a good meal from bad food

Rosen: One cannot prepare a good meal from bad food, produce good food from bad soil, maintain good soil without good farming, or have good farming without a culture that places value on the proper maintenance of all its natural resources so that needed supplies are always available.

Which one of the following can be properly inferred from Rosen's statement?

(A) The creation of good meals depends on both natural and cultural conditions.
(B) Natural resources cannot be maintained properly without good farming practices.
(C) Good soil is a prerequisite of good farming.
(D) Any society with good cultural values will have a good cuisine.
(E) When food is bad, it is because of poor soil and, ultimately, bad farming practices.

Can some experts explain the best option?

Good Option A - CORRECT.
''The creation of good meal depends on Natural and cultural conditions''. Culture over the years has brought out the most sustainable strategies in order to secure cultural heritage when it comes to food making and other environmental values. These cultural values has affected the maintenance of the available natural resources which farming is one of them. Good farming enacted from a good cultural values, good soil is as a result of well catered farming process and good farm produce is as a result of fertile soil and good food is as a result of good cultural values maintain from generation to generation.

Option B - INCORRECT.
Natural resources are not dependent on farming but rather on good cultural values. This is the reason why culture will always be a guild to achieving and maintaining natural resources, which farming is a major concern.

Option C - INCORRECT.
The saying in this option is right but not a conclusion to be drawn on the Rosen's reasoning. Good soil is not the only prerequisite for good farming, there are other values too which culture and natural resources are also a part of it.

Option D - INCORRECT.
A society with good cultural values will have a good cuisine when there is a good maintenance of all natural resources that produce the good cuisines.

Option E - INCORRECT.
Bad food is not as a result of bad farming or poor soil, rather poor soil affects the farm produce and this can reduce the quality of the produce not the food.
