Changes in Food Habits
Before Stone Age, people used to eat fruits, leaves and anything they found from the forest. However, this
habit changed into hunting animals, preserving food items and planting and growing vegetables, which eventually
led into farming different crops like maize, corn, and rice. People were healthy, they rarely had diseases and never
needed extra exercise because their daily work kept their bodies running. At present, we have turned the
agriculture into a mass scale production, including machinery, technology and pesticides, all of which came in
with the green revolution. With green revolution agriculture and the traditional farming culture turned upside
down. As far as now, farmers who are able to cope up with the multinational cooperation's and their large-scale,
expensive products, pesticides and high-yielding varieties of seeds, keep producing crops for the market. Yet the
traditional, low-income farmers even today, especially in Asian countries, are in a dire state.
Fast food is another major factor in modern food habits. Although many people find it convenient, it leads to
many health conditions. Today people are unhealthy. needs medicine and functions on diets and exercise
machines.
