In today’s episode, Joel and Sina go treasure-hunting in the modern news cycle to prove that even in a sea of chaos, there are still rays of hope worth celebrating.

From IHOP’s omelets turning out to be… well… not exactly 100% eggs to Steak ’n Shake unexpectedly leading the charge against seed oils, and the American Heart Association inching toward a more holistic view of health, we’re pulling apart the headlines to find both the humor and the silver linings.

But this episode isn’t just about the news. It’s about how the news affects you. The way we interpret a headline can shift our physiology in seconds. tightening the chest, sparking adrenaline, or sending the nervous system into overdrive. So let’s learn together, talk it through, and release it. No festering. No fear spirals. Just honest conversation, a few laughs, and a reminder that hope is still hiding in some unexpected places… like fast-food fryers and breakfast menus.

In this eye-opening episode, we explore the strange new world of engineered eating: from CRISPR-edited cows and methane-tweaked microbes to 3D-printed steaks, lab-grown salmon, mammoth meatballs, and even cell-cultured chocolate.

Are these creations the future of sustainable food…or a sign that we’ve lost touch with nature?

Join us as we peel back the shiny marketing to ask the real questions: What is food? Who controls it? And what happens when your steak requires a software update?

This weeks’ Community Question:

“If you were at a dinner party at a friend’s house and they served cell-cultured meat, would you eat it?”
