"eating is an agricultural act" --Wendell Berry, The Pleasures of Eating

Gastropod

Gastropod is a series of podcasts that examines food through the lens of science and history. In Episode 1: The Golden Spoon, they discuss the effects the shape and material of our silverware have on our eating habits: affecting how we eat, what we eat, and what our food tastes like. The evolution of silverware has impacted our lives in significant ways, through the development of new appliances, to transitions in eating customs, to eating fads. Of particular interest to me was the research done on different metals, examining which metals produced the best tactile and aural sensations when reacted with saliva, as well as how they affect the taste of food.

The purpose of this series is to examine food and agriculture, and environmental issues stemming from the two, through questions such as what’s scalable, what’s sustainable, and what’s scientifically reasonable.
