About this listen

You eat three times a day. But do you know what you’re eating? From prehistoric fire pits to fast food assembly lines, Lunchtime is the story of how food evolved—then got hijacked. This isn't a diet book. It’s a history of what meals used to mean, and how we quietly traded them for convenience, branding, and shelf life. You’ll follow the breadcrumb trail through: Ancient kitchens and imperial banquets, factories, war zones, supermarkets, and drive-thrus. By the time you finish, you won’t just think differently about food. You’ll feel it.
