End of Season 3

Hot Take - American food is the way it is becasue we became obsessed with enough food - more food just as we were becomeing a country. How do we feed ourselves well, and then how do we make money feeding everybody else.

For much of the rest of the world - food was identity, survival, a way of life and celebration. For America food was how you got things done, got places and got paid.

This leads to very different attitudes and outcomes when it comes to food.
