Our diet has changed a lot over time. Let’s break it down simply:

1. Early Humans:

   • They mainly ate fruits and plants.
   • They often picked up nuts and seeds to munch on.

2. Using Tools:

   • About 2.6 million years ago, people started using tools for hunting.
   • This added a lot of meat to what they ate.

3. Cooking with Fire:

   • Around 1 million years ago, cooking food made it easier for our bodies to digest.
   • Eating cooked food helped us take in more nutrients.

4. Farming Revolution:

   • About 10,000 years ago, farming changed our diets to include more grains.
   • This focus on just a few types of crops made our diets less varied.

5. Today’s Diet:

   • With the rise of factories, we started eating more processed foods and sugars.
   • Now, many people have health issues because of diets that are too refined.

So, over time, our eating habits went from natural and varied to more specific and sometimes not so healthy.
