For 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they
could find, and then moved on. Then around 10,000 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned
to farm the land.
The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country
we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European
countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, away from the sea, people don't eat so
much fish, but they eat more meat. For example, in Germany and Poland, there are hundreds of different
kinds of sausages.
In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with
chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East, people use their fingers to pick up food.
Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to another. We can eat
whatever we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or
the U.S.A.; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is a very big business. But people in poor countries
are still hungry while people in rich countries eat too much.
