What is a “permanent global summertime” (10:00)? How does it bias our understanding of the natural world and how fruits are cultivated? What is the relationship between mass production/mass consumption and monoculture fruit (11:20)? Why is so much importance placed on obtaining one particular banana seed (55:00)? Research the miracle fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) to determine how it affects taste buds. Are there any other foods that alter how we perceive tastes?
