| 0:00.0 | Is drinking raw milk safe like RFK Jr. suggests? Can you reduce a glucose spike if you eat your food in, quote, unquote, the right order? I'm registered dietitian Abby Sharp. I host a nutrition myth-busting podcast called Bite Back with Abby Sharp. And those are just some of the questions I tackle with qualified experts on my show. |
| 0:21.4 | There is so much food misinformation and disinformation out there, and it can feel impossible |
| 0:27.9 | to know what's real and what's BS. |
| 0:30.7 | On Biteback, my goal is to help listeners create a pleasurable relationship with food, |
| 0:35.3 | their body, and themselves, which in my opinion is the |
| 0:38.6 | fundamental secret to good health. Listen to bite back wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:44.8 | This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. |
| 0:49.9 | Let's go, girls. I mean, welcome to the mom room. It is Thursday. I just finished a CrossFit class. |
| 0:56.0 | Milo is downstairs playing his new favorite game, which is a Jurassic World game. He saw the new |
| 1:01.9 | Jurassic World movie, which was really good, and he's really into all the toys. It's like they put out |
| 1:07.8 | a Jurassic World movie, and then they put out all new dinosaurs. I swear to God, |
| 1:12.1 | when they released that Netflix show, that's Jurassic World or Jurassic Park, but it's the, |

| 1:24.4 | obsessed. He wanted all the dinosaurs. Now we have donated those dinosaurs |
| 1:28.9 | because they were old news and he wasn't into them anymore. And a new Jurassic World movie comes out |
| 1:35.0 | and it's like they have all the freaking dinosaurs out again as toys. And I get it. Like the people |
| 1:41.1 | that make these movies and then license the rights to make the toys, |
| 1:44.7 | it's genius. When we went into Toys R Us yesterday, there was like five kids getting a dinosaur toy. |
| 1:50.5 | Anyways, now it's not just a toy. Each dinosaur has, if you lift one of the flaps on their skin, |
| 1:58.4 | there's a QR code in there. And he knows now that those QR codes you scan with a tablet or |
| 2:06.4 | my phone and then it'll take you to a website or to a game. So there is a Jurassic World game |
| 2:12.2 | that goes with the dinosaurs. And it's actually pretty neat. Like I'm not going to lie, I prefer him to play this dinosaur game and scan through all the dinosaurs. And it's actually pretty neat. Like, I'm not going to lie, I prefer him to play |
