Tonight, I had a cheeseburger, cooked on a propane grill, an ear of corn, and a glass of ice water (from the tap) for supper.

How many different sciences, from the broader sciences to more specific disciplines, can you name that were involved in the process of putting dinner on my table?

Is this what you meant?

Paper plates or china? Any marinade on the meat? Butter or margarine?

OK, OK, I'll stop. Had you included eating the meal, all the human biological sciences, most of which are still going on, should also be counted, including the carrying of things to the table, and, making an assumption, the Art and Science of Dentistry. Do you wear glasses when you eat? Were you called to dinner? Was anything nuked? Irradiated? (And where was your starch? )
