In the Roman Empire they used food to fill the people and entertainment, such as chariot races and gladiators, to distract them, so that emperors could rule as they pleased.

My final criterion is applicable, for nutrient rich foods should be able to be reformed and altered, creating unique creations of equal or greater nutrient content.
