Farm-to-table
Despite the growth in the farm-to-table restaurants the movement has been met with some criticism. Critics argue the interest in knowing where your food comes from and ensuring it is locality sourced is just another food fad for millennials. Furthermore, the higher price point that many restaurants are forced to demand, given the higher costs of production and lower economies of scale, also make farm-to-table food less accessible for many people. The movement was originally closed tied to "tree-hugging elitists," who were able to afford farm-to-table food. Lastly, critics argue that the farm-to-table term is not fully understood by consumers. For example, foods advertised as farm-to-table are considered healthier regardless of actual nutritional content.
TV dinner
The term "TV dinner" was first used as part of a brand of packaged meals developed in 1953 by the company C.A. Swanson & Sons (the name in full was "TV Brand Frozen Dinner"). The original "TV Dinner" came in an aluminum tray and was heated in an oven. In the United States, the term is synonymous with any prepackaged meal or dish ("dinner") purchased frozen in a supermarket and heated at home.
