Abstract

In the sphere of civilization, defined by everything that belongs to the horizon of serving the material needs, comfort, security and utilitarian nature factors, food occupies an important place. The differences between the diets of our ancestors and those of today over which the industrial revolution, modern agriculture and food preparation seem to have important health implications. Treating doctors and nutritionists are becoming more convinced that the eating habits adopted in the last 100 years by western civilization, make a significant contribution to the increase frequency of heart disease, arterial hypertension, different forms of cancers and beyond. Starting from these aspects this article focuses on studying the consumption habits of rural people starting around the 1900s. We tried to find out what foods were eaten 100 years ago compared to what is consumed now.
