New Nutrition and Dietary Practices

In this era, new dietary and nutrition practices were formed throughout Europe and Asia. These new ideas had important effects on society. Two of these was that once people began to eat their fill, they average life expectany of people increased and food/hunger riots died down. Along with "just prices" came food at cheaper prices which let the poorer folk the ability to buy more. This helped end riots and mobs that attacked farmers and landowners throughout the lands in the search for food at an affordable rate.
Although people began to eat more food, the types of foods they ate were not varied. The wealthy did not eat enough vegetable, the poor did not eat enough meat, and either group got enough calcium and vitamins. Although there weren't enough vitamins in peoples bodies, the food shortages were dealt with by planting potatoes and other crops. Through these plants, people were not starving to death and could survive the famines.
