The Age of Plenty
Description
This episode tells the incredible story of how business has turned grain into one of the biggest success stories of the modern food industry. With unprecedented access to the world's largest food companies, including Kellogg's, it shows how the original processed, convenience food ushered in a modern age of plenty in terms of choice and abundance. Cereals are cheap and abundant but their real value lies in the processing, advertising and marketing that goes into creating well-known brands. It's a controversial business that both responds to and drives our changing relationship with food and our obsession with health.
