She says food study "wasn't really seen as a real way of looking at society and culture" until recently, because it's mostly a history of women, slaves and immigrants — "the people that have been cooking for the people that have been enfranchised for the past 200 years."

Lady there is a whole shelf of books on food and how it has changed society and culture.

The history of the world in six glasses, Salt, Catching Fire: The History of Cooking, Cod and that is just off the top of my head.

Sorry honey child, you are traveling down a path that is very well trod.
