Development
On 15 September 2006 WikiFood.de was launched officially on the occasion of the German Allergy Congress organised by the “Ärzteverband Deutscher Allergologen“. Further medical and scientific partners are the “Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg” and the “Institut für Medizinische Statistik, Informatik und Epidemiologie” (Institute for Medical Statistics, Computer Science and Epidemiology) of the University of Cologne, Germany. Currently there are approximately 12.500 food products available and approximately 1000 volunteers registered. Meanwhile Wikifood.eu was revised several times and new features were implemented such as an accompanying forum. The main focus of the forum lies on discussions regarding nutrition-based allergies and the exchange of individual experiences of the users.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“This was the Eastham famous of late years for its camp- meetings, held in a grove near by, to which thousands flock from all parts of the Bay. We conjectured that the reason for the perhaps unusual, if not unhealthful development of the religious sentiment here, was the fact that a large portion of the population are women whose husbands and sons are either abroad on the sea, or else drowned, and there is nobody but they and the ministers left behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you complain of people being shot down in the streets, of the absence of communication or social responsibility, of the rise of everyday violence which people have become accustomed to, and the dehumanization of feelings, then the ultimate development on an organized social level is the concentration camp.... The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
