Paths to Provisions

Some time ago getting food must have been a real challenge, and the winter made it even more so. Now a days we just head out to the grocery store and expect food to be there, or phone for some take out. In the old days if our ancestors wanted take out, they had to fix a message onto the leg of a pigeon, for example: I want a large pizza with pepperoni and mushroom and two soda pops. Once the pigeon reached the pizzeria, they would send the order out by dog sled or horse and carriage. And if that didn't work may as well just eat the pigeon. But seriously, I don't know how they did it, perhaps a mix of farms and hunting would do the trick.
