A gross generalization and strictly anecdotal:

People from the Northeast, generally don't seem to move too far away from an ocean (most everyone I met in Sarasota/Ft. Myers/Naples is from the Northeast).

Folks in "middle America" never lived by an ocean, so they're not biased and TV works just fine for them.

& I think the "food experts" are from the more metropolitan areas and don't have much experience living on a farm.

Uh oh....this may trigger some of our faux ‘critical thinkers’!
