It truely is amazing how much our culture is impacted through food, and it’s preparartion, so much so that it almost seems as if it is what we are focused on.  As I sat channel surfing over this past weekend, it seemed as if everytime I turned the TV on, there was some kind of food competition going on.  It seems a little coincidenal considering that we are going over this in class right now, but when I sat down to really think about it, this stuff is on almost all the time.  It just may be that I never really took any notice of it. 

We have hells kitchen reruns, Top Chef Marathons that happen 24/7 after marathons of project runway (another really ironic timing matter), and episodes of Iron Chef followed by all these different food network challeges.  Have we really reached a point in society where we either disregaurd food so much that we have turned it into entertainment, or have we become so consumed and fascinated by it that this is the kind of entertainment that we pusue inbetween meals as we plan what we eat next.  It’s really an intersting question to think about, but a little too perplexing that if you think about it too much, it very well make your head hurt.
