I watched a video from TEDxTokyo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upNkwmVMgBE) about the curiosity ancient peoples must have had to bring us the food we have today. Think about it – who was the first person who tried their milk gone bad and discovered cheese? Really, who was the first person who decided to drink something coming out of an animal and discovered milk? And think of all the dangerous looking plants out there, like pineapple, or even kiwi, which are more innocent looking but hairy. I don’t know that there’s a lot left to be discovered for the sake of the human race by being curious about food, but as the talk suggests, there’s a lot to be gained by seeing something that initially might be scary and deciding to go see what it is anyway.
