Long ago men spent most of their time looking
for food. They ate anything they could find. Some lived mostly on plants. They
ate the fruit, stems, and leaves of some plants and the roots of others. When
food was scarce, they ate
the bark of trees. If
they were lucky, they would find a bird's nest with eggs. People who lived near
the water ate fish or anything that washed ashore, even rotten whales. Some
people also ate insects and small animals like lizards that were easy to kill.
Later, men learned to
make weapons. With weapons, they could kill larger animals for meat. These
early people had
big appetites. If
they killed an animal, they would drink the blood, eat the meat, and chew the
bones. When they finished the meal, there was nothing left.
At first men wandered
from place to place to find their food. But when they began to grow plants,
they stayed in one place and ate what they could grow. They tamed animals,
trained them to work, and killed them for meat. Life was a little better then,
but there was still not much variety in their meals. Day after day people ate the
same foods.
Gradually men began
to travel greater distances. The explorers who sailed unknown seas found new
lands. And in these lands they found new foods and spices and took them back
home.
The Portuguese who
sailed around the stormy Cape of Good Hope to reach China took back
"Chinese apples", the fruit we call oranges today. Later, Portuguese
colonists carried oranges seeds to Brazil . From Brazil oranges were brought to
California, the first place to grow oranges in the United States. Peaches and
melons also came from China.

tea.
