Ep 44 - The Gospel of Food
Tuesday May 04, 2010
Tuesday May 04, 2010
This episode is about The Gospel of Food by Barry Glassner and wanted to discuss the common myths and misconceptions around food within this book; Tracy recently read it and thought that it would make a great episode. Well, there were many interesting points in the conversation and at one hour and fifteen minutes in length, there is a lot of food for thought... about food.

Ep 40 - Spencer in The Shwa
Sunday Mar 28, 2010
Sunday Mar 28, 2010
Spencer came up to visit us the week of St. Patrick's. He's a fan of the podcast so there were a bunch of places he wanted to go, and as if we were going to deny him! The three of us checked out Rolling Pot (no pics, sorry - just check out our previous pictures and superimpose Spencer's jovial face into the scenes of your choice), The Rainbow, Viva Burritos, Go Believe Sushi, Teddy's and picked up pepperettes at the Three Little Pigs. Having him as a guest host and honourary Fat Chick was a blast! Hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Ep 36 - Food Inc. Movie Review
Tuesday Feb 23, 2010
Tuesday Feb 23, 2010
This episode is about the movie Food Inc. - this show is very philosophical but always tries to be practical. The way we do farming now is a lot different then how our ancestors did, and people of our era are facing a lot of ethical questions. How much science is too much science? How long will it be before our creations turn on us? Or, more importantly, is the bigger issue the people that try to monopolize farming and squeeze out independent people who still try to focus on quality rather then quantity (Monsanto, we're looking in your direction). Add to these concerns: animal welfare, pollution, and you've got yourself 2 hours that is sometimes informative, sometimes relying too much on fear journalism, but is worth watching once.

http://zweifatchicks.podbean.com Feeling the post-Christmas crunch? Or just looking for a cheap, quick meal? Nothing stretches an already maximized budget like ramen noodles! A Chinese delicacy that was only available from restaurants until a post World War II Taiwanese-Japanese inventor pioneered a way to make them at home. In this episode, we taste six different ramen noodle packages.
