This week it’s all about salt! Everyone has it, everyone needs it, but what don’t you know about it? In this episode Kate and Rick talk about salt's history, its relationship to our body, and its effect on our food. Their "producer" Djaniss (Janice is having a midlife crisis) pops in with a quiz about salt.
What would a caveman eat? This is the question Kate and Rick consider while discussing The Paleo Diet. What is it? Should you do it? Did the Cavemen actually do it? Based on how our Paleolithic ancestors ate 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago, it is heavy on protein and devoid of grains, and it proposes to make you leaner, stronger and healthier. From what to eat and what not to eat, Rick and Kate have it covered, including the important questions: Is any diet that eliminates whole food groups a good idea? Is the Paleo Diet sustainable? And why the hell did Rick ever eat at a restaurant called Mr. Steak?
