Welcome to Food News. I'm Juliet Litman. And I'm Dave Jekot. Let's...

I just forget that we're doing a different show these days. I was about to say let's

let's spend 30 minutes on the clock. You're the time, Lord. How long have they been? Like 40 minutes,

45? They range. Last week was short. It was 35. Perfect.

Perfect.

Before was 50. I just want to say you're doing a great job. I think our sweet spot is 40 to 45. So that's what we're aiming for. Give us a call. I'm not going to look. I did just take a look. 850, Stu, 136. We want to hear from you. someone very important called us.

What's their name? zero, stew, one 36. We want to hear from you. Someone very important called us. You'll find out.

What's their name? You'll find out at the end. Okay dokey, everybody. Let's get into our stories.

The first one is about urine, pee, piss, and space. Joe, we should know that urine is sterile? Yes. Like, you could drink it. Yes. For some reason, I always say if you're in prison, you could drink your own pee. Why would you do that? They provide you with ample beverages. I don't know why. They provide you with ample beverages. I think it's illegal for them not to provide you with beverages.

Oh, who knows.

But also, it's like at any time one could do that. Sure. I do, I did think about it when my baby was a newborn and he would just sort of like pee. And also would like pee in the bath all the time. They're like, well, it's sterile. Yeah, it'll be okay. It's fine. It'll be okay. Well, it's relevant to this story because the European space agency is looking into how to make basically food.

It could be liquid food in space.

Usually food is brought to space from Earth.

This is, it would be an innovation about creating food up there, and they specifically need nitrogen, which is found in urine. So the

idea would be to combine this powder that you bring from Earth with urine. A couple things about

this. Number one, I've told you recently, I think I told you on the show that I've seen the movie Mars recently for the first time. The Martian. Yeah. One of the best movies I've ever seen. It's really good. I love that movie. It's fantastic. He uses a lot of feces and urine to sort of like, you know, grow things. Yeah. Mnour for like growing the potatoes. One of the things about this article when you realize is how dumb you are. They're like, most food sources come from Earth and are brought to space. And you're like, I never really considered it like that. But yeah, of course. Like, they don't create food in space. It's space. I just never considered it. Yeah. I've never really thought about the nutrition in space, except when we've talked about it on food news.

And it has always been like things they've brought or like zero gravity or whatever.

But it does feel like sunlight water soil could be brought there so you could sort of produce, you could use Earth, um, well, Earth elements.

Water.

You might find in space.

That thing, that's one of the open questions.

Some planets could have water.
