Food for thought: Talking Food
The British Food Standards Agency (FSA), a government department intended to “protect the public’s health and consumer interests in relation to food,” has teamed up with the UK’s Good Food Channel to create reality TV series Family Supercooks.
In each episode, two families will square off to whip up the best family meal and to win a spot in the show’s finale. The FSA’s role will be to provide the contestant families with sound nutritional advice, making the meals healthier. The agency also hopes to reach out to viewers in order to encourage regular British families to create wholesome, homemade meals together and to pass down food preparation knowledge to younger generations. To augment this message, the FSA will post advice and nutritious recipes on the Family Supercooks website.
As part of a marketing campaign for Family Supercooks, The FSA has released a series of videos featuring anthropomorphic food. Enjoy “Talking Nuts” and “Talking Pizza” below.
