Introduction to the Season: Nourishment and Food Cults

Jeff’s grilling up a Beyond Brat, some onions, and some real quality kraut. On this show, we discuss our experiment with veganishness. The cast iron grill has been real nice on this trip up the West Coast, which we will be documenting throughout the season.

We introduce our theme which is about the spirituality, ethics, religious guilt, and joys of food and what we take into our bodies. We discuss our almost vegan diet experiment, with the definite exception of oysters. We preview some future topics which will include food cults, fasting, dietary regulations in religious texts, booze, and pharmaceuticals. This season will be about untangling healthy practices and tastes from the ideologies that trick us into eating slop figuratively and literally.
