Thyme to Chat

Can you even imagine courting someone without involving food? Have you ever made (or answered) a foodie call? Recorded on a less than ideal mental health day after margaritas and snacks.

Ohhh it's not me, it's my social conditioning...

First, we are not sponsored by this product, but just in case you were lost when we made the rainbow poop comment here is the squatty potty.

Looking at media that is readily available to us through algorithms and magazines of our youth, we find roots of unchecked tapes that have played in our heads for years. Insider gave us specific dishes to order, Cosmo helped us "understand" what it means when men order specific foods, and the Guardian offered advice for being successful on a dinner date. And finally, Forbes offers benevolent sexism (in the form of men paying for dates) as a reason for the gender pay gap.

This is an extensive history of subversive messaging that causes anxiety and social harm across the gender spectrum.

Cyber Fresh Data

We are continuously flabbergasted and fascinated by all the ways in which we use data to reach conclusions. Rose had some great tidbits from this study on British dating and food choices. Kamea found a questionable study about what to include on a dating profile to elicit more action as well as odd points about baby saliva.

Food. It makes or breaks.

Think about it. We all have non-negotiable food deal breakers. Maybe you can't deal with a taste or a habit. Perhaps you don't share food, or you are hot for a delicate yolk dance.

Whatever the case may be, we can agree that what we eat is deeply personal and impacted by the relationships in our lives.
