Food Fight, An Edible History of Modern Warfare

“Food Fight” is a fantastic stop motion animated short film by Stefan Nadelman (Tourist Pictures) that depicts the history of modern warfare in the form of food.

Food Fight is an abridged history of war, from World War II to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict. Watch as traditional comestibles slug it out for world domination in this chronologically re-enacted smorgasbord of aggression.

Here’s a cheat sheet showing what the various food in the film represents.
