Cranberries are a fruit native to North America, and are a staple at most American Thanksgiving Dinners. Due to their very sharp and sour taste, cranberries are rarely eaten outside of the holidays. Nowadays, most Cranberries are consumed as a juice which can contain more sugar than soda pop, and has iffy health benefits.
In The Good The Bad The News
The Bad: The Kyle Rittenhouse trial once again proves that white men can get away with murder. You don’t bring a gun somewhere unless you plan on shooting someone, and destruction of property is not the same as hurting living beings.
The Good:
A record number of Humpback whale has been recorded off the coast of Seattle with a record number of calves birthed. In fact the entire population of Humpback whales has almost rebounded to the pre-whaling numbers. This shows that conservation does work.
Cranberries can be found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The Algonquian nation used cranberries for food and for dye, and introduced this fruit to Europeans. Cranberries are grown and harvested in a unique fashion, and the sale and marketing of them has led to things like the Great Cranberry Scare, the introduction of different juices, and the manipulation of the market.
Their most known benefit might be their ability to prevent urinary tract infections. Do cranberries actually help with UTIs? The science says yes! But the science also says no. So ... maybe?
Listen now to wade through the history, growth and marketing of Cranberries, the tart fruit you probably only eat once a year.
