It's by no means attempting to be at all comprehensive, but give us enough time, we'll get there.
But I think that what I'm seeing in this is that
We try to use food to define ourselves, and yet it defines us more and in more ways than we're not aware of at the time than we can ever write over, you know, the things that we're trying to do intentionally.
And I think that that's kind of great because it's this...
This form of history that is there waiting to be understood and you also get to eat it.
And what do you think about, I mean, of course everything is political, but just in like, I don't know, the smaller food trends of today, are there any that you're like, oh, I'm doing a trend?
But that's the thing.
A lot of us have desperation foods that are just amazing.
You know, I find whenever I feel myself on a trend, I feel a little bit embarrassed because I feel like I'm trying to emulate the cool kids, you know.
But OK, so speaking of yogurt, I have this figure.
This is from an old NPR piece.
So the average American in the 70s consumed about five pounds of cottage cheese and about two pounds of yogurt.
And then those numbers flipped in the 80s.
That's so interesting.
And in 2010, the average American was eating like two pounds of cottage cheese.
And do you want to guess how many pounds of yogurt per year?
14 pounds of yogurt per year.
That's a lot of that is me.
