Eating with your hands, the bliss point, molecular coffee, and bacon for snacking on.This episode was recorded in our regular Frequency studio session just prior to the pandemic lockdown. We delayed its release a few weeks to focus on pertinent lockdown issues, but we promise it's still timely! After all, when is bacon not timely?First up, Mirella and Joshna talk about eating with your hands. A new study showed people enjoy their food more when they eat with their hands but have difficulty with moderation. Considering many cultures have been eating with their hands for hundred, if not thousands, of years… we give this research a reality check.Next, we remind ourselves many food companies are seeking the "bliss point". It's the point at which your food is optimally addictive. It's the reason it's hard to eat just one of anything… case in point we try and fail to eat only one Cheeto…Coffee is being scientifically re-engineered to remove the beans in what is being called "molecular coffee".And finally, Dunkin Donuts is introducing "snacking bacon". We have important questions, including: Is snacking bacon hot? Are forks optional? And fow long before this hits the bacon-crazy North?
