Food Revolution #3

Food Revolutions are the times in our history when changing the way we ate changed who we are forever. The third revolution happened as we transitioned from our Paleo age to the Neolithic era when we gave up our hunter-gatherer lifeways in favor of settling down and planting our food. Also known as the "Agricultural Revolution", this transition is considered to be the actual dawn of civilization itself and wouldn't you know it; it all came down to food. Food literacy and your food story are what connects all of us to all of everything. An entertaining, fascinating and occasionally amusing perspective on food science, history and how we transformed ourselves into something bigger than ourselves, setting the stage for becoming who we are today. Once again, we changed the food and then the food changed us. This is a fun way to get educated about the role of food in this history of humans.
