My understanding with the Egyptians was that information came from studying Mummies and Priests or the well to do in society. There diet was not solely grain like that of the poor but meals of beef, goose, bread, fruit, vegetables, cake, wine and beer. There alcohol consumption was high and since salt was a perservitive that was also very high.
