A captivating snapshot of the changing history of food production and availability, Let's Talk Turkey is a top notch vintage food industry film. While once considered just a meal for holidays or special occasions (prior to 1960), with the advent of modern farming and production methods, turkey can now be an every day food. Gone are the hours of tedious labor incurred by going to the butcher and dressing the turkey yourself, so the film promises. Now, a fresh frozen turkey can be bought in your grocer’s frozen food section, ready for preparation. This incredible advance in food preparation made life easier for homemakers, and it's easy to forget that the universally and consistently available food supply has not always been a part of American life.
