'THE FOOD THAT BUILT AMERICA ON HISTORY CHANNEL Last evening I watched a few hours of a video on the History Channel. It went into the dramatic changes taking place in the united States after the Civil War. Specifically, the focus was on the packaging of food necessary to move the nation from a mostly agrarian society to one that was dependent on food being brought to the people on rail and other advanced transportation capabilities that changed the face of America and made it the most prosperous nation on earth. Families such as Kellogg and Hershey played a huge role in learning how to mass produce food and get it to the consumer. Heinz, Post, Coca Cola, Mars and more were family brands that came into existence at that time. Of course when I watch anything on TV, I mute the damn commercials. I stopped watching before the program concluded, putting up my next video and going to bed. I’m trying to find a DVD of that most informative story of how we moved from the agrarian age to the industrialized age. However, I need help in finding and obtaining that video. To me, it’s worth watching again; and, of course completing it. I cannot find it. Hopefully someone out there will be able to help with this.'
