Task 1 –Reading comprehension – Read the article carefully and circle the best answer.
Was Fred Flintstone a vegetarian?
Some anthropologists now think that for millions of years man's diet was more than 80 percent
vegetarian. Alan Vega investigates...
Twenty-four million years ago when our ancestors lived in the tropical forests of central Africa,
they probably ate plants and fruit, and, from time to time, a few insects. When these prehistoric
people started to travel north into the savannah, their diet changed too, and they began to eat a lot
of seeds and other plant material. And this is probably how man lived for the next twenty-two
million years, eating roots, seeds, fruit, nuts, vegetables and occasionally a little meat.
How do we know? One important clue is our teeth. Just like animals which eat plants, humans
have teeth called molars which we need to break down hard food such as seeds. Archaeologists can
also tell us about diets of the past.
The Aztecs and Incas ate a lot of cereals, beans and fruit and not much meat at all. In classical
India most people didn't eat meat and the Japanese were mainly vegetarian until a few generations
ago. The main food of the slaves who built the Pyramids was boiled onions! Even today, some
societies whose lifestyles are unchanged (like the Aborigines of Western Australia) are still mostly
vegetarian.
During the nineteenth century people in western countries suddenly began to eat a lot more meat.
New methods of keeping and killing animals, better transport and new inventions like fridges and
freezers helped to reduce the price of meat for ordinary people. It was probably at this time that the
typical western meal that millions of people eat every day – meat, potatoes and vegetables – was
born.
Also during the nineteenth century, the vegetarian movement started in Europe and the USA.
But it was only in the 1960s that more and more people in the west decided to give up meat in their
diets. So why do people choose to be vegetarian? Many people decide to become vegetarian for
personal reasons. First of all, some people think that it is healthier not to eat meat. Others
believe that it is cruel to eat animals. The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw once said,
'Animals are my friends – and I don't eat my friends'. Finally there are some people who think that
growing food for cows and pigs to eat is not very economical. Today vegetarianism is more and
more popular in Europe and the USA. But in most countries people who never eat meat are still a
very small minority.
