Kate and Rick begin the 3rd season of the podcast with an update on how they did with their holiday eating goals. In their attempt to maintain a modicum of health over the holidays, did Rick actually work out and did Kate avoid the drive-by snacking? In following up about their recent cleanses, they discuss the role rules play in their attempt to stay healthy in a tasty world, and ruminate on finding rules that can be followed but are not too restrictive. They also re-visit 5 essential rules offered up by author and New York Times contributor Michael Pollan. You will get a preview of upcoming episodes, hear how their “producer” Djaniss is drinking in the studio, and find out why Moose Munch is the devil and ruins everything.
