The given diagram illustrates how food is manufactured in the USA.

Overall, this is a man-made process and contains five linear stages, beginning with raw food materials being produced and ending with cooked food being served at home, in restaurants or buffets.

In the first stage, raw food materials, including vegetables, livestock, and fish, are produced and collected from different sources, typically from farms and seas. These raw, unprocessed materials are then sent to factories where they are processed and made into fresh food products and prepared food products. After that, these products are loaded onto trucks and transported to distribution agencies.

At the distribution agencies, food is delivered and supplied to foodservice facilities, including retailers and restaurants, where they are consumed in different ways. In the final stage, food can be used to prepare meals at home for families or it can be cooked and served to diners in restaurants or buffets.
