Heat encorages the growth of bacteria , which in turn causes decomposition , and spoilage. Also, aromas are carried more on warmer air which rises from the floor or ground up.

Frozen foods became available commercially beginning in 1930
A food will become rancid if it is placed in high temperatures or sits out for too long. A substance can also become rancid if there is high humidity in the area.
To ensure that the bacteria present in foods do not pose a health hazard you should cook them. You should cook meats to temperatures well above 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes
Cooler temperatures help preserve foods, higher temperatures kill the bacteria and prepare the foods so they can be eaten.

Foods to avoid... gaseous foods-dark leafy green veggies, beer, carbonated liquids, dairy, corn odorous foods-fish, eggs, asparagus, garlic, beans, and dark leafy green veggies
Fats that are solid at room temperature will become liquid when heated to a high enough temperature. Foods where the main solid component holding them together is fat, like butter or chocolate, will become liquid when the fats do. Sugar can also melt at very high temperatures, for example when heated on a stove.

Low pH foods tend to taste sour. High pH foods taste bitter. Low pH foods can be canned using either boiling water baths or pressure canning. Sufficient acidity (low pH) can prevent botulism spores from germinating. High pH foods require pressure canning (which reaches higher temperatures) in order to kill any botulism spores.
Foods do not become biodegradable. Foods like fruits and many vegetables are usually considered biodegradable because they can be consumed.
bacteria grow slower in cold temperatures
Microwaved foods & sun beds
Conventional ovens use fans to circulate air or radiation from oven walls to allow more heat to be transferred around the food. These should be used for foods with longer cooking times at higher temperatures.
High temperatures kill the most bacteria. These temperatures should be at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit in foods like many meats.
During processing, natural nutrients are lost due to the temperatures.
