What impact does marshmallow have on the environment?

Humorous answer:

Marshmallows are great toasted, everyone knows that. But these treats must first have a fire to toast them. Many people have began to toast marshmallows since the industrial revolution, building many fires. The heat from these fires rises, and is trapped in the atmosphere by cattle flatulence, thus causing temps to rise on the surface.

Chocolate also melts, then mixes with the marshmallows. This is known as "Global S'moreming", and must be stopped, lest we all eat to our doom.

Informative answer:

The marshmallow (Althaea officinalis (marshmallow, marsh mallow, or common marshmallow) is a plant native to Africa. Its roots have been used since the time of the Ancient Egyptians to make a sweet, though the present day treat contains nothing of the plant.

The marshmallow, like all plants, removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it is growing (through photosynthesis). It releases the oxygen, and stores the carbon in its stems and leaves. So it is part of the carbon cycle, removing a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere, and so has a positive impact on the environment.

Who is the inventor of marshmallows?

The first "marsh mallow" was created in ancient Egypt, 2000 years ago.

Egyptian physicians pounded the gummy root of the mallow plant into a medicinal syrup and ointment. Marshmallows weren't fluffy then.

French candy-store owners began making what we call marshmallows in the mid-1800s. They, too, used the sappy mallow root, which they sweetened and whipped into an airy, but still sticky substance. By the late 1800s, the demand grew so large that manufacturers streamlined their process by adding starch and creating marshmallows in molds. About the same time, they substituted gelatin for the mallow-root gum (which had to be harvested from swamps).

In 1948, marshmallow manufacturers sped up this process when Alex Doumak invented the "extrusion process" that manufacturers still use. They pipe the fluffy mixture through a long tube and cut the tubular shape into equal-size bits: marshmallows. The outsides are dried and dusted with confectioner's sugar so they can be handled.

Marshmallow now comes in a variety of flavors and sizes, and as filling for various snacks.
