Wrapped up the first & second seasons of the series "
The Food That Built America" on Discovery+. The first season was only three episodes and had a markedly different tone and style than the 13 episodes contained in the second season. The first was more stylized documentary, the second contained dramatized reenactments of pertinent events throughout the story of whatever figures they were documenting in that particular episode.
It is nice to learn the history and stories behind the food that lines the shelves of our grocery stores and the sides of our roadways. It was interesting to learn about how events like the great depression and the world wars helped spur innovation in the food sector. While the series could be a little over dramatic with the poorly done reenactments, overall I enjoyed it. So did the wife and kids. (4/5*)
