70 High School of Athens
2012-2013
2
In our school we have worked on the following programes:
The French Eating Habits at the Steps of Deipnosofistes
The German Eating Habits at the Steps of Deipnosofistes
3
The “Deipnosofistes” of Athenaeus, a
Greek from Egypt, lived during the 3rd
century, A.D.
The “Deipnosofistes” is a piece of work
that consists of 15 books, through
which the narrator, Athenaeus, quotes
the conversations which took place
during the time of a very famous
dinner in Rome. It is a valuable tool
about what has to do with the
literature and the life in antiquity. This
work is also a good source, which
refers to the symposiums, the dishes
served there and the spectacles that
were suggested. It is a real book about
gastronomy which includes information
related to the customs of the table
(dining), food, menu and wine.

During our meetings we occupied ourselves with the nutrition in Ancient Greece and compared it with the French and German nutrition.
8
We discovered that the Ancient Greeks used to eat pulses, vegetables, fish, a little meat, bread, fruit, honey, not many sweets, cheese and
yoghurt and drank wine with water
9
Following, we were informed on the French and German
eating habits of teenagers.
10
The Eating Habits a Teenager should follow:
We should eat five meals per day
We should avoid sugary drinks, industrialized snacks, rich in sugar, salt and fats
Say yes to whole grain cereals rich in fiber, vitamins B, E and magnesium.
We should eat four or five fruits everyday and plenty of vegetables, raw or boiled
We should drink milk, especially goat milk
We should prefer non-fat meat, chicken and fish
Say yes to dry nuts and dried fruits
We should always take breakfast
We should buy from the school canteen something healthy, if there is any , or bring something we have already prepared at home.
11
Finally, we noticed that the Europeans today tend to follow the Mediterranean Diet which is very close to the nutrition
of Ancient Greeks

If, “what we eat is what we are”, is valid, we
should be very careful with our nutrition,
as this is what will give us
good health which will either heal us
or sicken us !!
