Food expert Ted Allen ("Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," "Top Chef") and a slate of experts from Popular Science magazine examine the link between food and science in this lighthearted and often funny exploration of food facts, fantasies and fallacies, including whether there is any truth to the five-second rule about food dropped on the floor and whether an apple a day really keeps the doctor away.
