Food! Can't live with it; can't live without it. Jokes apart, our love for food is only biology, but the love-hate relationship we have with it is all society. We're bombarded by information and "science", and every 2 years the forbidden foods change. In this episode, listen to Pallavi talk some food and metabolism science, while Ameya discusses the age-old fat is bad for you theory. Plus: potatoes, pizza, fasting, feasting and more!
