IMDB: 8,7/10

Over the past century, an American industrial revolution has given rise to the biggest, most productive food machine the world has ever known. 
 
In this episode, host Yul Kwon explores how this machine feeds nearly 300 million Americans every day.  He discovers engineering marvels we've created by putting nature to work and takes a look at the costs of our insatiable appetite on our health and environment. 
 
For the first time in human history, less than 2% of the population can feed the other 98%.  Yul embarks on a trip that begins with a pizza delivery route in New York City then goes across country to California's Central Valley, where nearly 50% of America's fruits, nuts and vegetables are grown and skydives into the heartland for an aerial look of our farmlands.
 
He meets the men and women who keep us fed 365 days a year-everyone from industrial to urban farmers, cropdusting pilots to long distance bee truckers, modern day cowboys to the pizza deliveryman.

Op verzoek omgezet naar DVD5. Van 13 GB naar 3,25 GB. Heeft allemaal wat langer geduurd omdat de voeding van mijn comp de geest had gegeven. PC heeft twee uur staan rammelen om de boel om te zetten. Resultaat is prima lijkt me. De andere drie afleveringen volgen zo spoedig mogelijk. Enjoy!
