The Horrors of Early Space Food (w. Dr Kaveh Hoda)

The first space food was made by veterinarians instead of dieticians and was so bad that many astronauts chose to fast through their missions. And it could've been *so* much worse. This week, Quinn, Chris, and Other Chris are talking to Dr Kaveh Hoda (bsky.app/profile/kavehmd.bsky.social), gastroenterologist and host of the House of Pod podcast about the wonderful, disgusting world of astronaut kibble.
