Mesoamerican diet: Origins

What foods were prepared in the nowadays territory of Mexico before the rise of Mayan, Olmec, Toltec, and other pre-Hispanic cultures? This documentary unveils the diet that could have been created in Mesoamerica 10 600 to 4400 years before the present, before the invention of ceramics (pots and comales) and before the cultivation and domestication of the species fundamental for the traditional agriculture system called milpa, cornerstone of the great Mesoamerican civilizations. The researches of Patricia Colunga and Daniel Zizumbo, from the Yucatan Center of Scientific Research, with Alondra Flores, uncover evidence and propose that the revalorization and recreation of the Mesoamerican diet is basic to surmount the dire issues of diabetes, obesity, and loss of biocultural diversity in the area.
