Food in history

Surveys the evolution of man's diverse gastronomic habits, customs, and traditions against their cultural and historical background.

First sentence: In the very earliest times nature was in charge and the problem of the food supply was good deal simpler than it is now - although perhaps it would be wiser to say 'must have been simpler', since there are as many theories about prehistory and the pattern of human evolution as there are theoreticians.
