The Food Network website describes the show as: Did you ever wonder, as you crack open a lobster or peel away the layers of an artichoke, who discovered the different foods we eat? As you pop that chocolate kiss into your mouth, did you ever question where chocolate came from? All of the foods we eat have a history -- a secret life that we know nothing about. Take a lighthearted look at these foods and find out why we eat what we eat. NAMA is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2006. The organization is the national trade association of the food and refreshment vending, coffee service and foodservice management industries including on-site, commissary, catering, & mobile. Its membership is comprised of service companies, equipment manufacturers and suppliers of products and services to operating service companies. The basic mission of the association, to collectively advance and promote the automatic merchandising and coffee service industries, still guides NAMA today as it did in 1936, the year of the organization’s founding.
