Always Wondered - Why Do Our Stomachs Growl When We Get Hungry?

from Always Wondered

This week on Always Wondered, why do our stomachs growl when we get hungry?  Is it science - or is your body just trying to embarrass you in public?  Also, we explore how famous movie quotes escaped the theater, took over our brains, and somehow replaced standard human conversation!  Plus - hear the unusual origin of the frozen dinner.  Discover how we invented a meal in a cardboard box so that we never have to look each other in the eye at dinner again!  Join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you’ve Always Wondered about.
