Food Fight, directed By Stefan Nadelman, is described as "An abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict." It is one of the smartest, most creative shorts I have ever seen.
Although Food Fight can certainly be considered tongue-in-cheek it does not shy away from the more sensitive areas of American armed conflict, including the bombing of Hiroshima and a depiction of the 9/11 attacks in NYC. Normally I reject cinematic depictions of 9/11 as exploitative (I'm looking at you Oliver Stone), but when you put Nadelman's depiction in context with the rest of the video it doesn't have that effect. In fact the video as a whole is quite profound.
(Nadelman even provides a cheat sheet of what food represents who. It can be found here.)
