033 Stimulants - Wired for Discovery
from The History of American Food · host Margaret Hardin
Caffeine, Nicotine & Theobromine - along with the printing press and sugar all arrived in a big way in Europe in the 17th Century. They each affected the colonization of America - some immediately... and some waited. Do you think kids these days are bad? Well! Consider how crazy-making those guys (and in those days, it was the Boys) were with their propositions of allowing the Bible to be read in English, and establishing smoking in public. It was wild I tell you.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: [email protected] Twitter: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFoodMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
