- **CORRECTION**: at 12:00 the video references a concept named “histability”. This was a mistranscription of the word “digestability”. Sorry for the mistake!
Ever wondered why food tokens heal you? In this episode of Search Your Library, I trace the trope of "healing food" back through the history of gaming, then to the the traditions of indigenous Mayan food practice.
Featuring an interview with Miguel Cuj, Anthropology Ph.D. candidate at Vanderbilt University. Check out his research here:

the strangest thing in my view is how food, consisting of natural meat, vegetables and fruits etc are classed as artifacts, the most un-natural there is.
Interesting point!
Technically, food does count as artifacts in the archaeological sense, but I imagine that’s not what MtG designers are going for, haha

@@searchyourlibrary and of course they have to work within the limits of the categories present in the game. I always think of the Rockbiter from Never Ending Story, nibbling on raw stone and metal constructs, when I think of justifying food as artifacts.
You deserve all the views man. Absolutely nobody else in this space doing stuff like this.
That’s so kind of you to say!
That said! If you’re looking for recommendations, there’s Spice8Rack for more similar-ish politically minded content, or the Archive Arcanum (theaabc.buzzsprout.com) podcast for media. Cheers!
Love to see someone recognizing Dave Arneson as the original creator of D&D! Also super interesting to hear about the connection between food and healing in indigenous Mayan culture. Excellent video!
Why does food heal you?
Because technically for real... That is what it does.
Really great quality. At first i thought this was made by a large channel, but now that i see your size I hope your videos will reach much further out.
Thank you so much! Not great at the whole marketing thing, but I'm grateful that people are still enjoying these when they find them :)
Really interesting stuff, and I loved the guest appearance!
Thanks! Miguel’s work is super interesting!
Great video! Came over to see this video from CRPGAddict's blog about historical CPRG's linking this video in a recent entry. Fantastic history and overview!
Thanks so much! Was an honored to be mentioned, love that blog.
This vid is AMAZING! So much respect for the research and editing you've done. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
oh my gosh, this video is amazing, you deserve so many more subs!
Awesome video , what a good concept.
Your videos are consistently captivating, thanks for your work !
Very cool video
What is medicine if not a form of food? Jokes aside I really enjoyed to quick course of various subjects in relation to Magic. Hope to see more!
How the hell does this video have less than 1k views right now?
Thanks! Got to up my marketing game :)
This is way too high quality/effort to have this low a view count.
