Pretty fascinating look at the creation of the food industry in America, and how it exploded after WWII.  The major pioneers who became some of the richest families in America- Kellogg, Heinz, Birdseye, Mars, Hershey, the whole McDonalds Bros/Ray Kroc story, Harlan Sanders, etc. Highly recommend it.

The green meat they kept showing during the Heinz story was disgusting. 

Really enjoyed it.  Recording the other episodes.  Super cool stuff to see.  

Was really good. My 10 year old daughter even enjoyed the parts she watched.

I would have gotten really hungry if I had done the same.

Watched about 20 min and all that was discussed or visually represented was Heinz “discovering” his ketchup recipe.

 

not staying past the commercial break 

This is a fantastic series, just as good as the Carnegie/Rockefeller one that preceded.

Couple of things that stood out - I guess I should spoiler

Spoiler

The two guys stiffed by Hershey and Mars come together to make M&Ms? That is interesting.

Post's daughter is a bad ass. She has the foresight to buy Birdseye, and nudges industry to manufacture and sell refrigerators to hold their product in markets and at home.  That is incredible. I'm not an economist but that seems bass akwards.
