ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH TO EAT LIKE AN ARCHAIC INDIAN?
You poor thing! Sometimes there isn’t enough pepperoni on your pizza. On really bad days, you might have to eat baked fish. Of course, anybody who thinks you should eat broccoli, carrots, spinach, and peas should be thrown in jail. Before you hurt your neck showing that you agree with this, have a seat in the Archaic Indians of the Lower Pecos Restaurant where only the finest of foods is served. Now that you’re comfortable—not in a chair, but on the ground—here is your menu. Happy dining.

Not Enough Food!
Most of Archaic daily life was devoted to finding food. These ancient Texans knew what it was like to starve. Check out the table below to help you understand their daily struggle to find enough to eat.
Comparing the Supply of Food
| ARCHAIC WORLD | MODERN WORLD | |
| Food Source | Find it and pick it. Hunt it and kill it. | Drive to the nearest grocery store. |
| Choice of Food | Whatever you can find. (Be sure to check out the Archaic Menu to see what they did find. Would you eat their food?) | Let your taste buds (and your parents) be your guide. You can have just about anything you want. |
| Food Preparation | Eat it raw. Cook it, if you have time and fuel. | Fix it the way you like it. |
| Food Storage | Some plants keep. Meat rots quickly, because they hand no way to keep it fresh. All of that really doesn't matter, because they rarely had enough to save anyway. | Refrigerators. Foods contain preservatives to keep the fresh. People often throw away food that was never eaten and finally turned bad. |
