But it’s crept up again, and Americans work more than people in any other industrialized country-and we have long commutes. Remember, we fought for the 8-hour workday or the 40-hour week a few decades ago, and that was a big reduction in worktime. They’re not though the longest in history, though, by any means. I mean, I agree with it as a matter of time. But in so many ways these days it seems like cooking with great ingredients is kind of a privilege, in terms of both time and money. You also suggest that teaching future generations how to cook and appreciate homemade food is a way to get away from that reliance a little. F&W: In the film, you talk about the history of processed foods in America and how we became so reliant upon them.
