I think that in reality, most people watch fancy cooking shows on TV while eating something heated up out of a box.

People are getting more anxious about food too.  I think it has to do with, in general, losing touch with how food goes from something recognizable, such as a pea pod or corn cob, to a microwaved super burrito or salisbury steak boxed dinner.

So is it just my world-line or is everyone really becoming more of a foodie these days?  I mean, has a big segment of the population that once ate heated up boxes and cans moved over to the fanciness or does this always happen and it's just me entering my late 20s?

I am currently reading David Kamp's The United States of Arugula which chronicles the very culinary evolution of which you speak.  Highly recommend.

Interestingly, I just recently (like in the past two weeks) got over my aversion to eating at Taco Bell. And now I find myself craving it ALL THE DAMN TIME. I am certainly not turning into a foodie. I would make a terrible rich person of High Society, because I wouldn't want a bite of that high-falutin' crap if there was some KFC nearby.

KFC does make some great cole slaw.
