The Science Of The Mukbang: Why Do We Love Watching Other People Eat?
It's hard for some to imagine why sitting in front of a screen or device and watching people eat a large amount of food is satisfying. It's also hard to imagine how (or why) people livestreaming themselves eating has turned into a way to legitimately make a living. However, it is happening! The mukbang has blown up into a massive internet sensation and no matter what social media platform you're on, you can find people eating on camera. Even more, you can find even more people who are loving every second of it.

Caramel vs Carmel
For a significant portion of my life, I have used the word “carmel” when describing an orange-brown candy produced from the heating of sugar as opposed to the “correct” word often prescribed to me as “caramel”. Despite being aware of this distinction, I never managed to get over my “non-standard” pronunciation, and I still continue to use “carmel” to this day due to what was embedded so long ago. There have been numerous occasions that I can recount to my usage being met with a patronizing “correction” as if I had committed a crime. Even as I type this piece, the auto-correct function of this program is insistent to ameliorate my usage every time I type out “carmel”. However, after being presented with a new perspective on language variation in this class, I began to really question the true necessity of emphasizing this difference.

Comics Nourishment
The layman may not understand but my favorite local joint has always been a different kind of feast. I have been a lucky man in many ways over the course of my life but probably the biggest way was being born to the parents I was. Smart, kind, loving. And obsessive world travelers. Oh, I ate it up. Experimented in world cuisine and enjoyed the local greasy spoons. All before I was old enough to shave. It was my mother who primarily inspired this activity, having graduated from Mount Holyoke with a double major in history and geography and memories of an adventurous mother of her own.
