It is said that when the Roman empire collapsed those in Rome who were reaping the rewards of the empire without doing too much had two passions, sport (in the form of gladiator fights and chariot races) and food. They loved food so much that the wealthiest would eat a meal, puke, and then eat a second meal. Chefs at the time were revered for their innovation and the first age of the celebrity chef was born, The year 2000 has come and gone, as has the Mayan prophecy, numerous planets/comets, and countless other apocalyptic duds. Those predicting the fate of humanity can still cling to the collapse of the economy though and the traits of excess interest in food and sport fives plenty of foreshadowing.
