Are olive oil shots a good idea? Should we dunk butter in our coffee? Is soy really “the most dangerous food for men?” and is chocolate actually a health food?

  • Too much aural input

    I tried to listen to the the tea episode but the background music competes with the talk. I was looking forward to listening to it but as I wear hearing aids, I found it very frustrating.

    Generally enjoy this podcast as it’s very informative,but for some reason when I try to listen to the seafood episode it repeats the previous cheese episode?

  • Aural confusion

    Interesting podcast but the sound editing / music is competing with the narrator. Hard to follow the story with the aural confusion.

  • Good but misleading title

    Interesting podcast but came in thinking it would be more nutritional focus or even science based with how to cook/eat. More focussed on the differences around the world and history, which is super interesting. Keep going and maybe consider amending the title
