My first significant awareness of the pleasures of food history came from reading Margaret Visser's MUCH DEPENDS ON DINNER. It is a wonderful ook and opened the way to many more. I am not a truly serious student of foodways, but have read quite a bit and have taken couple of college courses on topics such as "Food in American History" and "Food in Films". I hope others will be inspired by this lecture to find out the complexities of what we usually take for granted--what we eat, when we it it, who prepares it, how it is prepared--and so much more.
I love Dr. Megan J. Elias' presentation skills. She doesn't present, she tells a story. Of course, her story on lunch culture is very American-centric, and not necessarily relevant for European (let alone African or Asian) lunch culture. But it seems to be a very good summary of American lunch culture, and all things that influenced it. I have watched it until the end, even though I had the chance just to move on to one of those many other interesting videos. I will definitely watch more of her talks.
She talked about the food evolution in the Unaited States, first she introducing about his trajectory. she pass a pictures and explain each. the picture show the fist activities of the people...farmers, livestock, etc..and the traditional cultives when corner and beens. she sample tyhe basket in a tirhd pictire and mencioned the lunch in this time, in the basket had cheese, pears and bread...its a very interesting conference becausse introducing the evolution of the society through the food.
This is endlessly fascinating to me, thank you! I love food anthropology

Megan Elias is amazing!!
this is super interesting!
Very attractive and very interesting presentation about chocolate
Lunch in America is a descendent of lunch in Northern Europe, you mention. During what time period in Northern Europe? Thanks!
34min，即红酒等消费品供管理阶层享用，而咖啡等能够提高工作效率的速食供工人食用。此为众多工业化为人类饮食习惯带来的变化之一。另外，欧洲本来没有午餐的习惯，每天的零食均为妇女在家准备，出现在劳作场所，此时即为用餐时刻，工人如此，而贵族更没有午餐一说，通常他们起床很晚，一顿丰盛早餐，若干零食，直至丰盛晚餐。这种饮食习惯被带入美国，随工业化程度提高，演变成工人定时定点吃午饭，今次能够保证工作效率与统一饮食的结合。

Can she finish a thought? Dang,
wow Megan is such a cutie! i want to get her a hug :)
Terrible title for what was presented. Shouldn't this be European history or
Western philosophy on food history?
You clearly didn't watch much of it as it was definitely mostly about American food.
This is over simplified trite. Typical American igoring the importance of class
The lecture I watched definitely talked about class and the different eating habits depending on class.
