Somewhat slick food show like many on the train of celebrityhood but poorly researched and revisionist.
Google it yourself Before wwii, more than half of americans were involved in their own food production because food was such a big % of the cost of a family. When my aunt and uncle bought their house in calif back in the 50s the house was only about 600sq ft but it was built on a 1/2 acre+ because a section was reserved for a garden. They had a backyard and then another fenced area for a garden. That's been lost. There's nobody around anymore and nobody to care what ordinary life was for ordinary americans up until about 40, 50 years ago. Now it's all about other cultures and immigration and suppression that anyone that existed before that was somehow not representative of america anymore. I'm all for celebrating the heritage of other cultures and food traditions but not at the expense of my own just to satisfy someone's weak perspective of history.
