[applause] For years, I thought survival was the same thing as living. For most of my life, food was just fuel, something to keep me going, not something to enjoy. In the religious cult where I was raised, eating wasn't about joy.It was about obedience. Every meal was a duty and every bite a reminder that we had to stay in line. We ate to honor the Lord to keep our bodies working for his purpose and the rulebook for all 86,400 seconds of every day.The rulebook that shaped my childhood dictated everything fr ...

So, actually, when you're eating one strawberry, you're actually eating 200 pieces of fruit. Kind of makes you look at things differently, right.So, I started thinking, if something as small as a strawberry could have so much hidden on the inside, what might ...

Una noche de invierno de 1860 en el teatro de Londres cambiaría la vida de cientos de niños. Una noche que pasó la historia. Unos cuantos días antes, los niños y sus familias recibieron una invitación un tanto peculiar, pasar la víspera navideña viendo una conferencia de física.

Pero no fue el caso. No fue el cas ...
