The popularity of Brussels sprouts and the advent of “the pill”: A secular argument for biblical living

from The Daily Article · host The Denison Forum

Have you noticed that Brussels sprouts are more popular than ever? I used to hate them; now I order them in restaurants whenever I can.  Here’s what happened: in 1998, a Dutch scientist named Hans van Doorn identified sinigrin and progoitrin as chemicals that made the vegetable taste bitter. Dutch seed companies then bred these chemicals out. By the 2010s, Brussels sprouts didn’t taste bitter and became popular with culinary celebrities and then with the general public.  Now consider a second scientific discovery that changed the world in surprising ways: last Tuesday saw the sixty-third anniversary of “the pill.” How has it changed American society in dramatic and fundamental ways? A secular argument for biblical living.  Author: Jim Denison, PhD Narrator: Chris Elkins Subscribe: http://www.denisonforum.org/subscribe Read The Daily Article:  https://www.denisonforum.org/daily-article/the-popularity-of-brussels-sprouts-and-the-advent-of-the-pill-a-secular-argument-for-biblical-living/
