When bitterness becomes your religion, healing becomes heresy: Christopher Cook says, “But here’s the fruit of that belief system: the most anxious, entitled, bitter, and emotionally fragile generation in history.

Why every strawberry traces back to a secret spy mission: Here’s some fun history. Ute Eberle shares, “In 1712 French King Louis XIV sent Amédée-François Frézier, an officer in the French Army Intelligence Corps, to Chile and Peru, both colonies of France’s rival Spain.

But he also observed the local flora and fauna, sketching plants into his journal.”
