Torch: U.S. LXV Summer 2016

From the first hunter-gatherers to the agricultural revolution, human civilizations have been defined by the food they eat. Today, cuisine overcomes barriers; a similar version of the food on the other side of the globe can be eaten at the restaurant right down the street. However, before we reached the cooking inventions of modern day, the classical world had their own food choices.

Some people eat to live, some people live to eat. Whichever you are, make sure you check out what the Romans and Ancient Greeks were dining on, and perhaps try a day where you eat like the ancients. Check out the article on page 8!
