Description:
Everybody watches food television, whether it’s programs that teach us how to cook, travel shows which tell us how others eat, or food competitions which entertain us. This overview begins with the early cooking programs ends with the latest hit programs. We take a critical look at food television: is it educational or just entertainment? How are food television shows made? What’s the relationship between food televisions and sponsors? And what’s the role that television plays in shaping what we eat? Guest speakers enliven our discussions of these fascinating topics. (1 credit)
