On the subject of breakfast meats
My blog is messed up. My old posts are back on the site but my recent posts are not. If you haven't read about my theory on hot dogs, email me post haste and I will have to just tell you from memory.
On a related note, my brother the anthropologist just got a project assignment from this company he works for to research breakfast meats. We worked together once, wherein he was the ethnographer and I was the videographer and we travelled all over New York into people's homes and interviewed them about their teeth brushing habits. The project was sponsored by Sonicare and it was very, very thorough. Part of my job entailed having to film the research subject brushing their teeth and going through their whole morning routine. I don't work with Vince anymore, but boy do I wish I did now! The project is described as so:
.
"We are conducting a study to learn about the behavior and motivations among people who consume breakfast meats at home. Specifically to understand the role of the family breakfast meal and how breakfast meats fits into the picture."
Aside from conducting extensive interviews with each participant, he has to take a kitchen inventory, do a "meal observation" and go on a "shop-along" as the participant buys his or her meats. It's a good thing he loves breakfast meats so much. He really does. Still, I'm jealous.
