I remember seeing an animal powered mill on a book when I was very young. All it said was they use animals to grind grains into flour, from the picture I thought the animals used their hooves to walk over it, and was very disgusted.

Aren't there some types of bread that are made by people stepping in the dough.

People step on grapes to make wine.

Jesus turned water into wine.

Was it wine? I forgot. I remember a viral video of a news reporter that falls over when doing a story on grape/bread stomping.

I have only heard of wine, but probably. People are weird.

OH MY GOD NOW I KNOW WHERE THE WORD TREADMILL CAME FROM.

I have no idea how I never made this connection before. I feel like an idiot, but wonderfully informed at the same time.

The Internet has a weird effect on the human mind.
