[QUOTE="An0dyne, post: 1540305, member: 16846"] They actually didn’t even have tomatoes in Ancient Greece, they’re a relatively modern import from the Americas. Conversely, you can check old cargo ship manifests to the American colonies (c. 1600s) and see that salad oils were a hot commodity. Or read the writings of the Ancient Greek Hippocrates to see the raw vegetable medleys he prescribed. And of course there are the vegetables upon which the Holy Prophet Daniel and his comrades subsisted. Of course, we know that God provided Adam and Eve with every seed-bearing plant for sustenance, in addition to fruit trees. I’m not against eating meat — I love it. But those saying that’s what we were created to eat in opposition to vegetables are all wet. We were created to eat fruits and vegetables as Genesis 1 says. Whether or not you want to cook them is another matter. Btw, I’m really into Victorian-era cooking, and salads dressed in oil were a regular course at that time. You can check out old cookbooks from the period. [/QUOTE]
