1. A food processing device comprising: a base having a motor positioned therein,a removable bowl coupled to the base,a removable lid coupled to the bowl so as to define a processing chamber, the lid having a feed tube that opens into the bowl,a blade assembly positioned in the processing chamber and driven by the motor, the blade assembly including a cutting blade to cut food items advanced through the feed tube,a rotating disk including an upper surface, the rotating disk being upwardly and downwardly moveable relative to the cutting blade to adjust the distance between the upper surface of the rotating disk and the cutting blade, andan adjustment assembly operable to move the rotating disk relative to the cutting blade, wherein the adjustment assembly includes (i) a control knob coupled to the blade assembly and positioned above the upper surface of the rotating disk and (ii) a threaded sleeve coupled to the rotating disk and positioned in the control knob,wherein the rotating disk divides the processing chamber into an upper compartment and a lower compartment, and the blade assembly includes a mounting arm having a ramp defined therein to guide food items from the upper compartment to the lower compartment. 2. The food processing device of claim 1, wherein the ramp has an inclined surface extending outwardly in a radial direction from a first end to a second end, the inclined surface having a first angle of inclination at the first end that is greater than or equal to a second angle of inclination at the second end. 3. The food processing device of claim 2, wherein the first angle of inclination is approximately 25 degrees. 4. The food processing device of claim 3, wherein the second angle of inclination is approximately 15 degrees. 5. The food processing device of claim 1, wherein the rotating disk has a counterweight secured thereto, and the threaded sleeve is positioned between the mounting arm and the counterweight. 6. The food processing device of claim 1, wherein: rotation of the control knob in a first direction causes upward movement of the rotating disk, androtation of the control knob in a second direction causes downward movement of the rotating disk. 7. The food processing device of claim 1, wherein: the blade assembly includes a central shaft coupled to the control knob, the central shaft being received in the threaded sleeve, androtation of the control knob causes the threaded sleeve to move upwardly and downwardly along the central shaft. 8. A food slicer assembly for a food processor, comprising: a cutting blade,a mounting arm positioned below the cutting blade, the mounting arm having a ramp defined therein,a rotating disk including an upper surface, the rotating disk being moveable to a plurality of positions relative to the cutting blade to adjust the distance between the upper surface and the cutting blade, andan adjustment assembly operable to move the rotating disk relative to the cutting blade, wherein the adjustment assembly includes (i) an internally-threaded control knob positioned above the upper surface of the rotating disk, and (ii) an externally-threaded sleeve coupled to the rotating disk and positioned in the control knob. 9. The food slicer assembly of claim 8, wherein: rotation of the control knob in a first direction causes upward movement of the rotating disk, androtation of the control knob in a second direction causes downward movement of the rotating disk. 10. The food slicer assembly of claim 8, further comprising: a central shaft coupled at an upper end to the control knob and positioned in the sleeve,wherein the mounting arm extends outwardly from a first end secured to the central shaft to a second end positioned adjacent to an outer rim of the rotating disk. 11. The food slicer assembly of claim 10, wherein the ramp has an inclined surface extending in a radial direction from the first end of the mounting arm to the second end of the mounting arm, the inclined surface having a first angle of inclination at the first end that is greater than or equal to a second angle of inclination at the second end. 12. The food slicer assembly of claim 11, wherein the first angle of inclination is approximately 25 degrees. 13. The food slicer assembly of claim 8, wherein the rotating disk includes a counterweight, and the sleeve is positioned between the counterweight and the mounting arm. 14. A food processor comprising: a base having a motor positioned therein,a removable bowl coupled to the base,a removable lid coupled to the bowl so as to define a processing chamber, the lid having a feed tube that opens into the bowl,a cutting blade positioned in the bowl and driven by the motor to cut food items advanced through the feed tube,a rotating disk upwardly and downwardly moveable relative to the cutting blade to adjust the distance therebetween, the rotating disk dividing the processing chamber into an upper compartment and a lower compartment,a ramp positioned below the cutting blade to guide food items from the upper compartment into the lower compartment, andan adjustment assembly operable to move the rotating disk relative to the cutting blade, the adjustment assembly including a user-operated control device positioned above the rotating disk. 15. The food processor of claim 14, wherein the adjustment assembly includes an externally-threaded sleeve coupled to the rotating disk, the user-operated control device includes an internally-threaded control knob having a grip, and the sleeve is positioned in the control knob. 16. The food processor of claim 15, wherein: rotation of the control knob in a first direction causes upward movement of the rotating disk, androtation of the control knob in a second direction causes downward movement of the rotating disk. 17. The food processor of claim 14, wherein the ramp includes an inclined surface, the inclined surface extending outwardly in a radial direction from a first end to a second end and having a first angle of inclination at the first end that is greater than or equal to a second angle of inclination at the second end.
