Hardly the Pizza of Choice: The Revolution Falters in the Food Department
I have watched a few episodes of the new show on ABC called The Revolution which was hailed as being fantastic; but I am sadly disappointed…
The ‘content’ is not fresh!
The information is weathered, inconsistent, and shaky at best. I expected more from so-called experts in their fields. It may have been pertinent years ago, but it is no longer reflecting the ‘current’ progressive ‘Thought’ at the leading edge.
The panel are nice people…granted. They have been on other TV shows. Yet here, it just doesn’t fit.
The Revolution
For instance, Harley was trying his best to help with making pizza. He floundered and utterly failed to deliver a suitable pizza…and it’s hard to screw up a pizza with three basic ingredients!
Whole Wheat tortillas are out and gluten-free pizza crust is in these days. Dice the tomatoes instead of using slices, put roasted garlic, organic oregano, and onions in the tomato sauce for great flavor and nutrients for kids. And how do you get 3/2 cup of mozzarella cheese in a recipe…do the math? Is that one and a half cups of cheese or should it be 2/3 of a cup?
I suggest that you slice some fresh mozzarella and rear it in strands with your hands to drape the pizza evenly. A little more Basil and a drizzle of olive oil would grace the healthy pizza if any of us had a hand in making it…along with some mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and artichokes for good measure.
The Revolution panel need to bring in Food Network talent should they try to cook on another episode. Harley doesn’t do real salads or real pizza in a meaningful way…
I am a little tired of being a critic when there’s so much useful information to share with you; but sometimes I just have to draw attention to topics that influence millions of people through television. You need to know when you are being programmed in the de-evolving direction.
The two women were giving advice about providing information to young children that adults consider to be ‘bad news’. They both agreed it needed to be age-appropriate which is fine, yet so much depends on the conscious awareness of each child which differs widely
When I was twelve, my parents, caregivers, and teachers tried to protect me from learning that my Mother was going to die from cancer. I knew something was seriously wrong, but honesty escaped adults that I had trusted until that point. I wanted the truth…all of the truth. Had I known the severity of my mom’s condition, I would have spent more time with her at the end of her Life to comfort both of us as we made our way through this stage of Life’s passage. I was shielded from an experience that I would have welcomed to be allowed to give my Mom as much love and care as possible before she died.
Years later I had profound dreams that my Father was dying, so I went home to see denial operating still. I prepared my siblings for his death and walked others through the loss with the fortitude of a pioneer in the wilderness who needed to build a bridge across the river of death for those too afraid of the unknown to take the first step. Life experiences can make an individual strong and resilient when you choose that path…
Back to food and fashion and personal growth on TV for a minute. Chart your own course and never let an expert make choices for you. It’s one thing to listen to advice and ideas, but in the end no one else is truly living your Life for you. You walk as a unique ‘you’, instead of a carbon-copy of someone’s formula for food or fashion or attitude.
