- Quote:
MP: “I once had a conversation with Adam about junk food. He told me ate way too much hummus the night before!! I didn’t even know what it was. It made me realize our definition of junk food was vastly different! I put hummus in the category of your mother telling you to eat your vegetables before you can leave the table.”
