Thank you for the great show as always! I just wanted to provide some context about the oatmeal debate - You are right that the “meal” in oatmeal does not come from the most common definition of meal (as in, prepared food). It instead refers to a grain that has been ground up into small pieces! “Cornmeal” is another great example of this use of “meal”.
