Laura and Rachel are taking a little break but we will be back NEXT RELEASE DAY with all new episodes of Impolite Society! In the meantime, enjoy this re-release of a topical episode from November 2021.

Food taboos are complicated and vary greatly by geography. There are no cultural universals when it comes to what animals are and aren't on the menu. In this episode, we're uncovering food taboos around the world. How some unlucky critters ended up as diet staples and what role religion plays in shaping our dinner plates.
