A Simple, Sustaining Ritual

Description

The table is set for an exploration of 21st century eating habits, and the first thing we learn is that there's trouble stewing. Almost everywhere on earth, eating habits have nose-dived. The simple sustaining ritual of making and sharing food is disappearing. Traditional diets that are more nutritious and ideal for fighting heart disease are on the decline everywhere. This program follows the downturn in home cooking and examines the arrival of food policing - controversial laws from governments around the world that restrict salt and fat intake and even tax the obese.
