Gather ‘round the ole butter goose table, because we may be in the midst of a polar vortex and hurtling towards oblivion, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun along the way.

Bagel Bite #40: Beet-Making Soil
Light your torches and grab your pitchforks, because we’re going on a manhunt and these things always work better with a mob.
This Bagel Bite we’re taking down everyone, from conniving older brothers to diet culture to Neil Degrasse Tyson. If you’re sensitive to mentions of sexual assault, listen with caution because this guy is a real piece of work (Neil, that is).
We’re also reading your famous first words after the first step/tumble onto the moon (a strumble if you will) along with your culinary suggestions from down under that have Grace more combative than ever.
