This episode is all about the sweet, sour, and sometimes bitter taste of sugar\u2014and honey, maple, and molasses! Two conversations unpack the sticky subject, one with food marketing expert Dr. Jordan LeBel, and the other with pastry artist and entrepreneur, Sonya Sammut. David and Maxime taste three sweet substances during \u2018Stick This in Your Mouth\u2019, and union organizer (and podcaster sister) Elisabeth Szanto responds to the Food Questionnaire.<\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>
