    Long ago, getting food required much work as there were no stores to purchase it from. People obtained food through four main methods - farming crops, hunting animals, fishing, and gathering wild foods growing in forests such as nuts and berries. Today, most people can easily purchase the food they need from stores. Getting food is now less difficult and more convenient than in the past.

    Finding Food

    Finding Food
    by ReadWorks

    Long ago, getting food was a lot of work. There were no stores to
    buy food.

    People had four ways to get food. They farmed crops such as corn
    and beans. They hunted for deer, rabbits, and other animals. They
    went fishing for food such as trout and eels. They searched in the
    forest for food that grew wild, such as nuts and berries. Getting
    food then was not easy.

    Today most people can get the food they need at a store. Now
    getting food is easier and faster.
