Ancient Food Still Saves lives

Just because something is old, does not mean that it wasn’t important. I think that neolithic food has made a fairly big impact on the present. This essay is about food, made and eaten many years ago. Around 8000 to 6000 B.C. , The neolithic age started. The neolithic age was the age of many discoveries and transformation of human life. People were nomads living a nomadic life. nomad meaning (people not having permanent home and are traveling constantly). The neolithic age transformed those people into farmers and settlers.Food back then made a big impact on what we have today. I know this because of three foods. Millet, yogurt, and noodles. Millet because it persuaded early people to become farmers/settlers instead of leading a nomadic life. Yogurt because it was a revolutionary food that lactose intolerant people could eat. My final food is noodles, the noodles didn’t really save lives. However, they did lead to a big discovery. These are the reasons ancient food is important. …show more content…

It was a type of grain that could withstand a lot more than grains like wheat or barley. It was once as little as birdseed but now it is becoming more popular. Millet also had a lot of nutritional value. It has been deemed one of the world’s healthiest foods. Millet has copper, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus. The real reason millet is important is not because of its nutritional value though. One of the main reasons millet is important is because it persuaded nomads to become farmers. Instead of just following a herd of animals, nomads could just drop some millet seeds somewhere and come back a couple weeks later and the millet would have grown. They do not need to tend to the millet because it is really resilient to a lot of things. Millet can go a while without being watered and it can also withstand heat and the cold. Without millet, we would still be nomads wandering around and not having a permanent

  • Monsanto's Harvest Of Fear Summary

    845 Words  | 4 Pages

    The three essays assigned this week had several common threads running through them. The strongest core theme is the rapid change in the food cycle in America and the vast changes that have taken place in the way by which we grow, produce, and process the food that average Americans eat. The food we eat now is drastically different from what our grandparents grew up eating and the three essays each examine that in a different way. Another theme is the loss of knowledge by the average consumer about where their food comes from, what it is composed of, and what, if any, danger it might pose to them. “Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear” by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele is a harsh look at the realities of food production in a country where large corporations, like Monsanto, have been allowed to exploit laws and loopholes to bend farmers and consumers to their

    A cultural system is as robust as it is open to the outside and engages in exchange, cross-reference, and hybridization. It is the fear of others that confines people within their habits, preventing their knowledge of diversity, and causing them to reject what is not customary. Diet is one of the elements of social life most sensitive to changes in the surrounding context. Migration has always produced innovations and transformations in indigenous food traditions. Suffice it to consider the spread of tomatoes, potatoes, tea, and coffee in the dietary habits of Europeans to understand the transformations that have occurred through trade and the movement of people and things.
