Well, well, well. Still not eating whale are we? Why in the heck are you talking about whale in a food podcast then? Turns out the global trade that lead to the pelagic (open ocean) whaling trade is a follow on of the "food for sea" in development.
The same thinking about food in action (travel food) will become essential to soon-future-America's expansionist and war dreams (not always different).

Anyway - reading at night used to smell like whale oil... if you were lucky.
Look at that glow of your phone a bit differently my friend.
