Long ago men spent most of their time lookingfor food. They ate
anything they could find. Some livedmostly on plants. They ate the
fruit, stems, and leavesof some plants and the roots of others.
When foodwas scarce, they ate the bark of trees. If they werelucky,
they would find a birds nest with eggs. Peoplewho lived near the
water ate fish or anything thatwashed ashore, even rotten whales.
Some people alsoate insects and small animals like lizards that
wereeasy to kill.
Later, men learned to make weapons. Withweapons, they could kill
larger animals for meat. Theseearly people had big appetites. If
they killed an animal,they would drink the blood, eat the meat, and
chewthe bones. When they finished the meal, there wasnothing
left.
At first men wandered from place to place tofind 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
killedthem for meat. Life was a little better then, but therewas
still not much variety in their meals. Day afterday people ate the
same foods.
Gradually men began to travel greaterdistances. The explorers
who sailed unknown seasfound new lands. And in these lands they
found newfoods and spices and took them back home.
The Portuguese who sailed around the stormyCape of Good Hope to
reach China took back Chineseapples, the fruit we call oranges
today. Later,Portuguese colonists carried orange seeds to
Brazil.From Brazil oranges were brought to California, thefirst
place to grow oranges in the United States.Peaches and melons also
