Episode 1: The Rules
1 RecommendationsRules around food and eating have existed since we first began communicating about what we put in our mouths.
Do I want you to follow my rules to the letter? Absolutely not. Get inspired by them and create your own rules, because no one should be the boss of what you eat but you.

Episode 3: Call Food What It Is (feat. Wish Ronquillo Peacocke of Human Thesaurus)
3 RecommendationsThis week, we’re joined by Wish Ronquillo Peacocke, author of “A Fraction of Momentary Love” (link below) and host of the Human Thesaurus podcast.
We talk about the etymology of food, why it’s important to call things what they are, and how even across oceans people are still excited to buy gluten-free water.
Also, we decide that a food revolution is coming, bolstered by people like you who are learning more and more every day about where their food comes from, how to cook it, and how to eat it.
We answer the question on everyone’s mind: “what is plant-based rice?”
I speak briefly on the importance of trust between a creator and their community.
Finally, we discuss Wish’s book of poetry, and how the best way to eat is to nourish your soul.
