Food Knowledge has Expanded

The change in our world is a result not just of health concerns but of the growing knowledge on the part of the general public about food. This is great—a more knowledgeable and interested community is a positive change.

Information about food, and access to this information, has been greatly broadened since we opened in the early 1990s. Consider the number of us who watch the Food Network and the greater appreciation we now have for the world’s foods. We can all learn about unusual foods and food preparation from our living rooms. Professionals open their kitchens and bakeries on TV to the nation, sharing what was previously secret information.
