No - Unless you are on a very "select" diet such as vegan and/or if bloodwork from a dr shows a deficiency in something. Odds are for most people, they are getting the nutrition they need from their normal diet. Women may benefit from supplemental iron or calcium, but those aren't necessarily in many multivaitins. If you would benefit from something, your dr can tell you exactly what.
Eating grapes at midnight right when the year starts is so funny to me, it's very common to have champagne at midnight all over the world, you're just getting it raw
Clearly not referring to Chinese new year and all its variations around the world, where lobster is typically a traditional food that symbolizes strength (chinese name is literally "dragon shrimp"), prosperity, good fortune, and all that jazz. Also red = auspicious and people wear that color to celebrate and ward off bad luck 🙂
Hate to put a wrench, BUT in Japan for New Years. Parents and Grand Parents give their kids money in RED ENVELOPES. Chinese's also do that for their New Years. They symbolize Prosperity.
Not to mention that inverting a 'luck' tradition doesn't reverse the effect- walking under a ladder is bad luck, but climbing over one isn't good luck. Nor is making or repairing a broken mirror good luck, despite breaking one being bad luck. Likewise, stepping on cracks is occasionally linked to misfortune- but avoiding stepping on cracks isn't lucky. Then, the 'scientific' explanations are that they _might_ be polluted, depending on where they're caught (sounds like something the FDA would want to hear about. Stamping out contaminated food sources is kinda their thing), that it could go bad if not handled properly (I've had food safety training. Tons of food go bad if not treated with proper care- heck, it's why lobsters are typically kept alive until it's pretty much cooking time- to minimize the possibility of the exact thing Santi's worried about there. It's a factor that is known, and accounted for. Then there's "Well, you _might_ be allergic!" Which is a bit of a stretch, considering most people _aren't_ allergic to seafood. It's possible that you've developed a seafood allergy out of nowhere- just like it's possible to get attacked by a shark, and need your arm amputated- the likelihood is so low as to be largely negligible.

Yes! I've actually been getting a little annoyed at the taunts being in EVERY video, but was not expecting the Tom-bashing to come in the form of an allergy! I actually lol'd. 😂
Fun fact: Lobster once was served as prison food many years ago because people back then thought it tasted bad, but now it’s a such a favored food by many. So next time you eat lobster remember that you’re eating prison food
My great grandfather always hated it because it was "poor fisherman's food." All the fish would be sold off to make money, and the bottom dwelling lobsters weren't good for selling, so that's what they were stuck eating. Man how the times have changed.
Like corned beef. It is for sure a sometimes food, but it went from being a poor man's food to my family has it once a year as a treat on st patrick's day. Er, i guess twice a year, since we start with hunks from it and any leftovers become corned beef and cabbage soup the next day
The thing is, it was abundant and honestly, doesn't taste that great. It's only a delicacy now because it is now more difficult to find lobsters. And honestly, most delicacies are such because of rarity, not taste. Most really are not worth the money and effort.
Yea I was wondering about that tradition myself-mostly of whether it was a matter of chewing and swallowing in those three seconds, as opposed to just getting the grape in your mouth
I have a theory idea: Are meal prep services like Factor actually better than making it yourself? What benefits do they pose as to just making the same things yourself? This comment may never be read, but it's an idea. Also, still waiting for the Food Theory on the Road finale!
Lobsters do die as a result of an age related process(bigger lobsters take progressively longer and more energy to molt, leaving them vunerable for longer and burning up their energy longer), and eventually they'll either be predated on while unable to defend themselves and get so big they physically die of exhaustion and starvation in the process, but when exactly varies by lobster to lobster. The world record lobster is 2' 9" inches long head to tail or just over 5 feet tail to claw, and weighed 51.5 pounds. However, Lobsters do not get weaker with age outside of molting. A gigantic old lobster one molt from dying is just as healthy as a young lobster.
I have a question for food theory that came up at our table yesterday: Why is it that boiled eggs make you full faster than scrambled eggs? Like, I could eat scrambled eggs made out of four or five eggs, but as soon as you boil them instead I am out after the second one. Maybe, if I am really, really hungry I manage a third one but at that point I am "I hate myself" - full. How come?
When the Immortal Jellyfish senses that it is in danger it reverts back to its polyp form, therefore being immortal. Lobsters however are not immortal, they have a set age range that they typically die at but for the opposite reason most other animals have one. Eventually an animal's cells will procure so much built up damage that it out paces the cell's ability to heal itself causing old age. Lobsters do not build up damage as their cells divide, they will eventually just be too big for the ecosystem to sustain them and they will eventually die of starvation. I don't know if water bears are immortal or not and therefore have no comment on them being or not being such.
Birds scratch backward, symbolizing looking back, while pigs root forward, symbolizing progress-perfect for New Year’s. Fittingly, I also eat like a pig during the feast!
Fun fact: the only moving forward thing is the same reason the Australian coat of arms has a kangaroo and emu, they're 2 native animals that can only move forward.
that last part happened to my aunt, she loved shelfish as a kid but now if I eat clam chowder to close to her she dies, and here's the punchline, she now lives in boston with her future husband who works at a port
Overall very enjoyable episode and happy to be seeing out the year with some fun theory episodes, but my one point of critique is the joke at 9:12 poking fun at long scientific names in relation to food. While in this case it’s certainly a bad thing you don’t want to ingest that notion of “long word in food is scary and bad” is a sentiment that is repeated a lot in diet shaming and just general anti-intellectual discussions in food science spouted by people who throw a fit about “chemicals” in the food that are actually fairly common or even beneficial actually killing us. Hope this didn’t come off too nitpicky, Happy new year all.
Not gonna lie, it feels like this video ignores other considerable variables. Superstition is definitely rather strange, eating birds could represent fortune flying away, but why not problems as well? In the same vein, lobster's toughness and top heaviness could symbolize strength. Red isnt an inherently bad-luck color. Its all directional movement during its long life could symbolize being manueverable in the face of adversity. Etc
Time to finally say a permanent goodbye to the year that Mat Pat retired…still feeling that one but it doesn’t sting as much as the realization that we are all getting older.
It makes me irrationally upset that every time they talk about luck they show a three leaf clover instead of a four leaf clover, which is actually lucky
Hundreds of people in Japan get hospitalized every year after choking on mochi on New Year's, some dozens even dying. If that doesn't say bad New Year's luck, I don't know what does.
Great video! As a Chinese person by race, I’ll say we don’t usually celebrate Gregorian New Years (1st Jan), it’s just time off work for us (we celebrate Lunar New Year, which is a different day every year) :) so the info in this video is eye opening for me! Great to see how other places in the world celebrate the turn of the year. Also good to not conflate gregorian and lunar new year traditions, appreciate the theorists for that!!
Growing up in an italian house hold my dad would go to each corner in the house putting salt in the corners while my mom did everyones grapes. I can attest that it is infact very hard to get down a bunch of grapes really fast but we had to do it before the clock struck 12:01 so its a little more forgiving

Yes
They've already done this I'm pretty sure. And yes, sugar expands your stomach capacity or smth. There's always room for dessert.
In practice, sometimes there isn't. Even if eating dessert makes some room for it, if sufficiently full you may not want to.

So basically lobster is like a less lethal version of the gamble you take when ordering fugu: If it’s done wrong it’s gonna be a BAD time
