We have a podcast called Blinded by the Item. A blind item is gossip about a celebrity with her name left out. It's a guessing game. And you can play along. The item might be like, this A-List star carries a Birken bag worth more than the average person's house to the gym to work out. Pretty sure that's J-Lo.

We drop a new episode every weekday so the fun never ends.

how people were getting food. This really is probably a big part of what got us into our food mess that

we have today with preservatives and everything else that they were doing to try to buy more shelf space. To make more money. Yeah. They put all these preservatives in our stuff so we could can it. Yep. And they could make more money. Right. So it's kind of the beginning of it. So when they realized being like, okay, wait, so if you put in a can, you'll increase the shelf life by tenfold.
