(FOX NEWS) – Newly published research is providing a
fascinating glimpse into how ancient Romans enjoyed
their fast food — shedding more light on life in antiquity.

In a recent journal article entitled "Urban Consumption
of Thrushes in the Early Roman City of Pollentia, Mallorca,
" researcher Alejandro Valenzuela discovered previously
unknown information about how Romans consumed
thrushes, a type of small bird.

Until now, it was assumed that thrushes were a delicacy,
reserved only for the rich. But Valenzuela found that these
birds were actually consumed by the masses.

The excavation at the ancient city of Pollentia in Mallorca,
Spain (seen left), revealed new insights about how Romans
ate birds. 
      

New research reveals that ancient Romans enjoyed thrushes
as everyday food, not just elite luxury.

The cereal, which contains neither grapes nor nuts, was
developed in 1897 by  C.W. Post, who was a patient
(and then a competitor), of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.  

It was one of the first commercial products marketed as
health food.

Wilson & Co. evolved over the years to adapt to a changing
market and changing leadership. The business began in
1916 when founder Thomas Edward Wilson took control of
the Chicago meat packinghouse, Sulzberger & Sons Co.,
and rebranded it as Wilson & Co.

By 1917, the company ranked as one of the 50 largest industrial corporations in the United States, and continued to employ
thousands of workers at its plant in Chicago until the 1950s.

Wilson & Co. held several subsidiaries that utilized animal by-
products for the manufacture of sporting goods.
