It’s our environmental special! Also known as the green/brown show. For reasons you might regret you learned. But it’s worth it because there are watermelon babies.
Show notes:
Staying healthy may mean learning to love our microbiomes
Eat invasive species
Health risks of eating invasive species
Watermelon babies
Yes it is a very interesting show.
Real information presented in a fun format.
Hmmm that sounds like something I have heard before.

I had a Thing I thought you’d appreciate, and wanted to share, but I don’t see any way of contacting you. Ah, well. Guess it’ll stay my own little thing, for a while, until it inevitably catches on. 😉
Hmm. I don’t know how to tell you this, Misty, but you just contacted us. We also mention every episode that you can contact us on Twitter @itsathing!
I love this show! Thank you for making ! It’s now my thing. Or thang, actually.
Very much enjoyed the green & brown show. The watermelon babies thing was particularly amusing. Tom suggesting that the watermelon keeps babies cool might have been a bit of a fun guess, but he might not be that far off. I have no evidence of watermelons being used to regulate the internal temperature of young’uns, but watermelons are used as headgear by fans of the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders.

I once asked a friend who is a diehard Roughriders fan about the watermelon helmets, and was told that they’re used in the summer to keep fans cool. So Tom was not talking out of his microbiome transplant hole!
The actual history of the watermelon helmet is uncertain at best (as evidenced in this video: http://youtu.be/mo7KG2vsq3E), especially the reason why, but I choose to believe it’s to keep the prairie brains fresh during football season.
Saw my doctor today, and for the first time, she asked me if I’ve been eating enough kale. This was followed by a discussion of probiotics and fecal transplants. Man, you guys called it.
