Appreciate hearing the other side of the story! We've had white CRT for centuries and I bet every "1" star rating is from a non-black person. The topics were interesting and so informative. Stuff that we all should be aware of. I'm sorry there was only 4 episodes. Would love more.

I think the series is excellent. It gives a history of food in America and its roots in the African American community. The sugar episode was especially enlightening in regards to prisoner leasing. I didn't realize how deep it went and how it's still happening today. Each episode taught me something new. My grandmother taught us about George Washington Carver, but the episode brought attention to what black and brown farmers deal with. I grew up eating fresh vegetables from my grandfathers garden and people called it country. Now it is so important to learn to grow your own. I hope this series continues.

This show was a great deep dive into some of the most iconic food/beverage products that we as Americans come face to face with everyday. We take for granted the history of the foods we eat and how they came to be. Cultural appropriation is a real thing and knowing the people who created these dishes and why is what makes them special. Also knowing the dark history of some of the most controversial foods like sugar is a great way to learn how to better our lives and see past the corporations propaganda. The show is very informative by giving you the history, current status, and possible future solutions to food culture in America. Can't wait for a season 2.

This show spoke to my soul not only as a black man but as a lover of history. I learned so much from this informative show that could ruffle some feathers especially from the negative review comments previous to my review/comment.

I really enjoyed this show. Chalk full of fascinating and important history lessons. Especially enjoyed the episode on farming. I really appreciate food shows like this that go behind a recipe and instead make you think about where your food comes from. There is a satisfaction to food when you know it's story and this show certainly tells that story well. Also provides some conversation around addressing the way racism shows up in US food systems. The episode on sugar was heartbreaking. I already try to reduce how much sugar I consume for my own health and that episode was just further motivation.
