★★★★ · Perversion for Profit in Flour! · Spuzz · 2003-11-25
Silent footage from a movie called Making Ends Meet, but kept interesting by the images presented, as it's all food-related. Kids in a cafeteria, people shopping in a store with an amazing looking produce department, and in a great scene, brand named products shown with grey tape over their names! It ends with a family enjoying their dinner with giant glasses of milk, to placate the sponsor of this piece. Reccomended!
★★★ · Cooking means work · Steve Nordby · 2003-10-14
The soundtrack is missing, but from what can be seen, this is about helping Mom stretch the family food budget by buying fresh foods and staples in quantity and making meals herself rather than buying prepackaged convenience foods. Sponsored by the Dairy Council of St. Louis, so big glasses of milk appear frequently. Ends with a stoic family dinner in the dining room. Mom takes a drink of milk, rests her hand in her lap, and appears worn out from all the work.
