The food that built America on History channel
Interesting program that if you get the chance you might enjoy watching. I didn't watch the full program the other night but it covered Hershey, Post, Kellogg, Mars, Birdseye, and Harland Sanders. It was interesting to see how each became what they did. Worth a watch if you haven't caught it.

Saw the entire series. Pretty interesting. Some wild stories about rivalries and family feuds along with interesting facts.

Great show spanning many years of food and confections. Always interesting to learn how something came to be, origin of brands that became successful, who solved how to not melt in your hands and of course what made America fat.
Seriously.. I like the series.

It's hard for me to say which was my favorite. Each had such a compelling story. Hershey building a factory to make milk chocolate and not even having a product to make until the factory was complete? That takes stones. Birdseye designing and producing the freezer to flash freeze his products, Sanders taking a pressure cooker and converting it into a pressure fryer. Marjorie Post and her forward thinking. I found them all really interesting.

I liked that too, History has another series, "the cars that built America" Some title like that, a similar series with the history of the auto, it was really good too, I like that kind of TV
