Let Them SEE Cake!


Years ago soap operas provided women with a respite from their daily chores even as they hawked the soap and other products. I'm not sure what they're about now, I'm not a fan, but I suspect they're a diversion that may be even more welcome as more and more people don't have a job to go to.

Nevertheless what really strikes me as odd is that ABC is replacing one of the soaps with another food show.

An estimated one in six Americans experience hunger in any given week, many of them children. I guess if the poor don't have anything to eat the corporate creatures will give them images of food to feast their eyes on.
