The World of Food

Food in the past History of the food Healthy or unhealthy food Food groups Eating out Everybody eat?

A long time ago the people all over the world ate really healthy because the food came only from nature.

The poor people made and ate much bread or something similar to pizza. They did not ate a lot because everything was too expensive for them.

But the rich people had got bigger menu. They ate a lot of meat like pork, deer, lamb and beef. They had got expensive spice like cinnamon.

Thousand years ago the people ate mainly meat. They were hunters

Lately they found the taste of the fruits and vegetables

The food we are eating today in Europe was not existing in the past.

Some of the food like cacao, tomatoes, potatoes and others, came here because of people who traveled around the world.

The cacao tree is really small (4 – 8 m)

Its homelands are the deep tropical region of Americans.

Now the tree is growing only in the Amazons and Orinoco river basins.

This is the one of the most useful trees in the world.

The peppers were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 year.

They were discovered in Mexico and from there they were transported to the Philippines, India, Korea and Japan.

Now there are many types of peppers in all of the world.

Tomatoes homeland is Peru.

They were accepted like a food in the 1800s.

Before that the Europeans thought that the tomatoes were unhealthy and didn` t eat them.

Also in Peru there were potatoes.

The people there grew them 4 500 years ago.

After the Spanish explorers tried potatoes they started to carried them back to Spain on their ships.

Soon the potatoes became really important food in the menu of the Europeans.

Nowadays everybody are too busy to eat soup, or something that we had prepare for lunch. Usually we chose the fastest way - eat hamburgers, pizza and hot dog.

Today there are more and more people explaining about the unhealthy food. They say that those sandwiches we eat are really bad for our body and we have to eat healthy.
