If you ever eat at Taco Bell, you have surely noticed that they sometimes have Nacho Fries on the menu - but most of the time they do not. Why? Why do Nacho Fries come and go? Why don’t they just leave them on the menu all the time? This episode begins with the crafty explanation. https://www.businessinsider.com/taco-bell-is-bringing-back-nacho-fries-for-the-sixth-time-2021-7

 What determines your personality? Obviously there are a lot of things. What you may not realize is that the list might include things like your genes, microbes or even parasites in your gut. Listen as I speak with Bill Sullivan, a professor at Indiana School of Medicine and author of the book Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs and the Curious Forces That Make Us Who We Are (https://amzn.to/2t2VOYT). He explains how these forces can actually determine and even alter who you appear to be. 

Have you heard the advice that you shouldn’t store tomatoes in the fridge or that you shouldn’t fry food in olive oil.

Listen as I explain why. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4539884/Should-continuously-stir-risotto-soak-onions.html
