Vik the Random

Here we talk about Om Nom Nom and what happens to all the food that you (and probably Om Nom) eat. If you don't know what I'm talking about - search up cut the rope.

We also talk a little bit about the things in your body called kidneys and why it's very important that you drink a lot of water.
