Food, Culture & History Interview: Part 1
An inquiry into how our food culture has changed over the decades. Interview of 4 people, now in their 90s, about what they ate growing up, what they eat now, and what they think about the whole thing. Growing up in the Great Depression, the interviewees worked 6 or 7 days a week even while in school, just to help their families scrape by. Times were tough but food was fresh.

Food, Culture & History Interview - Part 2
Food, Culture and History Interviews
Neumann Grocery, Detroit, MI in 1910
I am in the process of interviewing people of all ages and from different cultural backgrounds about the food culture during their life. What they ate, what it cost, where it came from, who grew the food, how it was prepared, etc, etc. I have so far focused on interviews with people over the age of 80.
This has been one of the most interesting and rewarding endeavors I have ever undertaken. I deeply believe that food culture, more than anything, is the foundation of cultural identity and health. Good food is the basis upon which we raise healthy children and ensure health in our communities. The way we grow, process and package food (on this vastly populated planet) also has a great impact on the environment.
Good food not only ensures a functioning ecosystem on planet earth that remains capable of positive interactions with wilderness, but also ensures humans the ability to live healthy and happy lives with connection to nature and family and friends.
In these interviews, you will hear people discuss some of the most intimate details of their lives, from the food they have prepared each day of their lives, to how their families survived the Great Depression.
