Milk and Pea Oppression

Many of us remember being forced to eat or drink something at the dinner table as children. Milk and Pea Oppression takes that experience to a whole new level, tying it in with the over-televised culture of a generation growing up with Tom and Jerry cartoons, Shrinky Dink commercials and Folgers Coffee. Through a humorous, touching and eye-opening narration, the author of Milk and Pea Oppression articulately explains how forcing someone to drink milk can result in an examination of the patriarch, our mass consumerism and the fact that newer generations can more easily hum the tune to a Coke commercial, than recall important pieces of history, or what legislation is being passed as they turn on the tube to watch another episode of American Idol.
