Agreed, so much variable. Myself, I can not and will not eat in a high stress environment. If I try my stomach is hating and regretting the effort. I think looking at cultures who take a lot of pride in maintaining a set eating schedule really make that case. Other cultures by necessity have a very inconsistent schedule, idk about putting my knickle down on cause and effect, just guesses.

Agree, that is not what she was going for.

I think it is very hard to have a placebo in a mindful eating experiment.

I agree with William, that Anne was not talking about Mindful Eating. Also, Cara seemed to emphasize the importance and benefits of mindful eating, but I am skeptical. (Shocker, I know.) It sounds like California “woo” to me. I wonder if Cara would do a deep dive into the science of mindful eating to see if there really are demonstrable benefits?

Should have discussed Mars a bit more, how we still can't go there, land humans, and make the whole trip survivable (whichwe cannot yet).

Alessandro Bernardi

Off topic: I think Steve mentioned he was going to present "How to read a scientific article" type of lecture at some of your trips. I'd vote for sharing that as premium content some day.

I just saw it as an argument to authority. Don't listen to celebrities just because they are famous, they aren't the experts. The sentiment was definitely there.

James Joyce

Anne wasn't alluding to mindful eating.
