Admit it— you're a
fool for food magazines and The Food Network. If you devour them all
instead of novels or drool over the recipes before bedtime, you don't
have a problem, you have plenty of company. Millions of Americans seem
as addicted to reading and watching anything about cooking as they are
to actually preparing a meal. So why the fascination with all things
food? It's very simple. One of the best ways to create a sense of
belonging is to share a meal with someone, and there's a need to know
what to do when it comes to food. UPBEAT Entertainment News Syndicate
wants to do more than break some lightly oiled bread with you. Welcome
to an amusing and always informative look at the vastly limitless world
of food and drink. Nothing escapes parody; not the lobster, the potato,
the turnip or the green vegetable. Dining out is covered too, as well as
drinking for fun and profit. Frozen food, like folded laundry and
alimony, is one of those things that all of us always expect to be
there. How many of us are aware that the concept was the product of
someone’s inventive spirit and foresight? Truth be told, The Food Bytes
is an irreverent look at the surge of tropical fruits and vegetables
that have found their way to our local supermarkets; it is all things
equated to the glorious art of food. Blessed are those who hunger and
thirst, for they are all sticking to their collective diets and have bored
those of us who enjoy a sloppy burger from time to time all to
tears. UB
