Shownotes Transcript

When we went to the zoo as children, I had certain favourite animals. These included the elephants. They were so big and yet somehow they radiated a peaceful calm. Another factor was perhaps that they were fed with fruit and today we would say they were vegetarian. So no other animal had to lose its life because of them, as was the case with snakes, for example. At that time, I also noticed that the elephants ate the fruit - such as a banana - just like that, with everything: the fruit including the skin. When I peel a banana today, I always think about it and ask myself how you can eat and digest such a peel! I think it's not just the size of the creature, but that the elephant obviously has a completely different digestive system and therefore probably a different chemistry. Different creatures, different possibilities. Good for those who accept this and still enjoy it.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
