Sparta's Militaristic Lifestyle

First and foremost, Athens was far better than Spara due to the higher quality of lifestyle. In Sparta with a militaristic lifestyle, you would be very privileged to have the chance to live up to thirty years without being assassinated. Not only that, but the men in Sparta would be lucky to have the chance to eat two times a week, sometimes once. Over and above, Sparta viewed food only as an inconvenient necessity of life. According to the document titled “Food in Athens and Sparta”, Spartans ate, “[a] broth [consisting] of pork, blood, salt and vinegar. Spartans were trained to dislike luxuries and fancy foods.” Meanwhile, while Spartans were out eating pig’s blood soup, Athenians were enjoying “...luxuries and foods from all over their empire.”,
