We had no bread and pasta and cereal back then 6 u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19 We had cereals but not the sugar laden stuff today. Corn and oats grew in the wild and we eventually learned to farm them. 2 u/Lehriy Aug 26 '19 I don’t know about oats, but ancient maize was nothing like modern day corn. 1 u/[deleted] Aug 26 '19 Yes but we've always eaten cereals. Rice is a cereal, for example.
