Food Wars

Thanks to Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer, Information Services Librarian at the Culinary Institute of America for this link:

This is a very ambitious stop motion animation of an abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict. It's not 100% accurate but it's a very interesting articulation of global conflicts visualized through food.
