Food And Culture

A multi-cultural look at how we eat. Don't worry, we don't show people eating bugs. We want to challenge viewer's minds, not their stomachs. Explore basic questions such as why do people eat, why do we eat meat, what food taboos do you practice, what do people on the other side of the globe eat, why don't guys go out for soup and salad, what determines how you eat, and how does your culture influence your diet?


Learn:
- "Why do people eat?" No, it's not to survive. When was the last time you ate to avoid starvation?
- Do people really eat bugs for breakfast?
- We explore strange eating patterns. Would you believe some people eat ground-up cow muscle and bird wings boiled in oil?
- Why do people eat meat?
- What food taboos do you practice? Yes, you. Taboos.
- Will future generations view eating meat as a health risk?
- We ask if "laboratory safe?" food pills might work in our future.
- Do your students know most people in the world don't use forks or spoons.
- Why don't guys go out for soup and salad?
