An insightful and occasionally amusing conversation about the way food impacts everything about us - our history, health, well-being, social fabric, spirituality, laws and even the very notion of truth and discernment. Every time we humans change the way we eat, we change who we are. A channel about everything because FOOD is about everything. How-to instructional tips on lo-effort healthy eating on the cheap and the unbiased facts about nutrition minus the static. Busting myths and debunking the bunk. Dispelling the spell and parsing fact from crap. Your food story and health-span are written into connections over billions of years into a story that is hilariously funny, must-know interesting, coldly brutal, selflessly nurturing, symbiotic and competitive and life/death critical. To understand your food is to understand your you. It's also really fun.
Sometimes we give away schwag.

junky food! Thank you for telling me not to eat them! It helped me ALOT! BUT GUESS WHAT CHANDLER IS STILL ON MY FEET!!! please help me. Your my role modal!
I love this content! Food, history, world cultures, all my favorite things wrapped into one! Hawaii by James Michener is one of my favorite books for all the reasons that 1493 is one of yours.
As a Greeley kid, I'd be predisposed to 'Centennial' but the truth is that when I picked it up as a teenager, I didn't have the patience for such a thick book. I should give both another try.
A little additional info regarding yogurt: all commercially manufactured, widely avaliable yogurts are made from pasteurized milk but some are heat treated after the fermentation process, which kills the biota. Those varieties are *supposed* to indicate on the label that they've been heat treated. Some are not even fermented at all and simply have the live cultures stirred in. As always, read the label to make sure your yogurt has live cultures and isn't loaded with sugar. Better still, look for an "LAC" certification from the Natural Yogurt Association (NYA).
The jury is still out. Grazers is delicious and they clearly say on the package "cultured after pasteurization' so that's awesome. I also really like Super Natural because they use regenerative farming practices and they're my go-to brand. They do pasteurize after the fact but they use "traditional" culturing at "low temperatures", which they claim only kills the bad bugs while preserving the goodies. Regenerative means so much to me so the way I see it is that even if they don't have as many LAC's, I'm willing to make the compromise since my main source of happy bugs is my homemade ferments.
That's so awesome! Speaking of sweet, I also used to make it with cinnamon oil and honey instead of cacao. Kids loved that one! Tastes exactly like cinnamon toast crunch.
Some flowers are edible 😉 My favorite is the Nasturtium. They are so easy to grow and produce plenty of seeds to plant the next year. There must be something in that spicy flavor that my body needs.
They're also recommended for people who have a problem with cabbage moths. Apparently they prefer nasturtium to kale so a few pretty flowers can prove irresistible. Who can blame them?
I got mine at a local garden store. It was a little pricey. I could have opted for a thinner, less expensive one but I decided to opt for the thicker, hopefully more durable one. Year 7 and no leaks. In this week's video, we'll have a little peek at some early-season sprouts...
Rats, which I also have in my garden are even more big time ass holes! I even had armadillos climb up into some of my raised beds. They are super ass holes!
LMAO!!!! Gives new meaning to the exclamation "aw rats!" Now I'm gonna start saying "Aw armadillos!" I spent some time in west TX (San Angelo) and the highways were littered with 'em. Eww.
Squirrels are offended by many of the same scents as deer, so repellents like Plantskydd Deer Repellent work well. You can also try a thin layer of coffee grounds or tucking a small amount of dog hair around and under plants. Surprise them.
Your content reminds me of the "Good Eats" TV Show with Alton Brown, and that's a really good thing. I miss that show so very much. Thanks for filling that void.
Loved this video! I was really hoping some snacks would be a prize for commenting. Now I'll just have to go find them on my own. 😁 One of the things i miss most about city life is having ethnic markets nearby. Luckily i have already found the hot pot chips and curry c corn snacks online so i can try them out. I was hoping the turkey leg cheetos were going to taste like it, my family would have loved that. Pulparindo is one of my favorite Mexican sweets, so i was surprised to see a version of those in your video. I would like to see another food haul snack video from the other side of your DNA. 😊
A whole video on chili crisp is now on my list of show ideas!! My favorite is the Umami brand. Lao Gan Ma is the original and so tasty! That ingredient list tho...phew...
Hot pot chips sound so good! I have a weakness for wasabi peas, but my biggest guilty pleasure is probably Combos. Weird little crunchy pretzel tubes filled with processed cheese.
@eatislovetv2857 If I could make one suggestion, Try mixing in some shorter format videos. 10 minutes or less. Many people have trouble committing to a longer video especially if they are unfamiliar with you as a content creator. I watch a lot of RU-vid and the first thing I look at is how long a video is before I press play.
Globalization of food makes me happy. 😊 Have you ever read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver? It's a fascinating read. She and her family decided to try to eat only what they could produce or buy from local producers in their town.
I've heard of her and will definitely put that on my reading list. It's really complex isn't it? On one hand, I love supporting local producers but I also love sushi and parmesan...well...maybe not at the same time of course...
Its ok. I subtly corrected you a few minutes later in the Reese's joke. I, on the other hand, referred to The Pleistocene Overkill as "the pleistocene extinction." ...twice
