Kat teaches a lesson on a dietician who dipped her toe into evangelical cult-leading. Gwen Shamblin’s diet program of praying the fat away somehow appealed to enough people that she could afford a private plane- unfortunately for her.. Then, Hayley introduces us to a pair of feral children who showed up in Woolpit, England a very long time ago. We don’t know where they came from, only that their skin was green and they LOVED raw beans.
