The history of war, as told through food
When I first spotted this over at the Epi-Log, I thought, "Oh fun, a little video clip with food playing out a battle." But then I started watching and was instantly transfixed. Directed by Stefan Nadelman, this is a thoroughly planned and cleverly conceived film short film about the history of war on this planet over the last 60+ years. The foods are carefully chosen to represent countries and ethnicities (the United States is played by a cast of hamburgers and fries). It runs a little over five minutes long, but it is definitely worth watching.

Wait -- in the credits it lists an Adam Levine as helping out with animation ... surely they don't mean the lead singer of Maroon 5 ... ?

Amazing and really disturbing. Didn't recognize Russia at first though!
