The Food That Built America
The Food That Built America is een Amerikaanse documentaire van de zender History. De serie ging in première op 11 augustus 2019.
Generaties lang zijn Amerikanen als Henry Heinz, Milton Hershey, John en Will Kellogg, C.W. Post en de gebroeders McDonald letterlijk bekende namen geweest, maar hun verhalen ken je niet. Voordat ze merknamen waren, waren ze briljante, soms meedogenloze visionairs die een revolutie teweegbrachten in voedsel en het landschap van Amerika voor altijd veranderden. Dit miniserie-evenement vertelt de fascinerende verhalen van de mensen achter het voedsel dat Amerika bouwde - degenen die hersenen, spieren, bloed, zweet en tranen gebruikten om via hun maag naar het hart van Amerika te komen, en onderweg steden gebouwd, nieuwe technologieën uitgevonden en hielp oorlogen winnen.
