The Chew Replaces “All My Children” on ABC: From Fantasy Soap to Soup Reality
As most of you have heard by now, “All My Children” will be replaced by “The Chew” on ABC to bring the viewing public a new and refreshing television show based upon what is real, rather than their favorite soap opera drama fantasy.
The reign of Erica Kane and her cohorts has come to an end, but will live on in the lives of those who prefer dramatic relationships to balanced interactions within intimate friendships, family ties, and workplace alliances.
The Chew is going to have a chance to restore a healthy perspective for all of those people who have gotten lost in characters and story lines that mirror the highs and lows in their own lives far too often. Personally, I hope that the gang from The Chew can pull it off and rescue those lost in TV Soap Land with a plethora of culture, good food, and purposeful Lifestyle discussions.
There are signs of ‘real life’ here. That will do more for daytime television than the continuous drama of diseased emotions that never end well. Let’s face it: Soaps only sell when people are miserable, falling into bed, falling out of love, trying to control other people, sabotaging themselves, or any of the myriad of other ways to destroy the evolution of the human being.
The Chew will be a reminder that we have engaging relationships with one another every day that matter, that make us stronger, that challenge us to be better, that improve our lives, that nourish those around us. If this new television show lives up to the hype of the commercial bites I have seen, we’ll have organic cookies, tofu in healthy dishes, and local sourcing of our food. This is an hour on TV that could change your lives!
Just watch this Small Bites Video about Salts presented by Michael Symon. He knows his salts and evens shaves his Himalayan Salt as a finishing salt as if taste really matters!
I am encouraged by hearing him ask you to use your commercial salt for melting ice from roads, instead of ruining your food with it. Good for him! Sea Salt and the varieties of healthy salts do actually contribute to good health and great flavor!
