Food: The Nutritional Content One Consumes To Become A Mere Mortal
About this episode
So how much do we care about food? Well it turns out not that much!
In Episode #318 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why our taste of food is lower than the average, how our lifestyles impact our food choices, the Spartan Juan life of tuna/beans/chicken/bread, why we both need partners who are better cooks than we are, my theory that food can be used to cover up deficiencies in an unhealthy style of living and why the Mere Mortals probably isn't the best place to find culinary tips.
A yuge shoutout to Petar, Dave Jones & Brando Sellers & Danigamb1310 for supporting us with #boostagrams. A distinguished bunch right there!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
