Our culture is obsessed with food. To turn on the television is to be berated by figures like Rachael Ray and Jamie Oliver telling you how to eat and cooking competition shows such as Top Chef and Cupcake Wars showing the latest avant-garde recipes. However, Americans do not seem to be eating a diet as balanced as the ones their culinary idols promote.
