What are food taboos? How are they created? And how do we break the power they hold over us?
Matt Hershberger is back to explore the world of food taboos. We talk about the lobster's rise from taboo to luxury in colonial American history, we dish about bug eating and unpack how a lot of these food taboos are really just learned forms of disgust that we picked up from our society.
Matt Hershberger is a writer, librarian, author of two books in the works, and a stay-at-home dad.
