The first lesson I learned when I began to study the realm of interpersonal neurogastronomy is this: food has no flavor.

You may not realize how important this distinction is to understanding our relationship with food, but after listening to this episode of the podcast you’ll also see how much an impact this change in perspective can have on caring for children from hard places.

I hope you are served by this episode. If so, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.
