I have a huge peeve about food and television.

I saw a commercial about a dad and his kid playing by sliding bowls of chips and salsa across a table..

Eventually the bowl collide and the salsa spills. The parents laugh and the mom goes to clean the mess up.

I also saw a preview on the BRAVO channel about the Top Chef program. The hostess says something about a 'food war' then throws food at the camera, the next scene is of the contestants tossing food at each other-a real food fight....everyone is laughing.

They just showed a commercial during a program with a child eating in a kitchen, he tosses his spoon across the glass table. The parents laugh and get out the towels to wipe up the mess.

-----------------

As I grew up I was always told that playing with food is a sin.

I understand that the stuff was probably 'stunt food', but the concept still irks me.


It's probably a trivial thing?

But it drives me crazy!
