00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.690
SPEAKER: I look in that fridge
and it's pretty disgusting.

00:00:04.690 --> 00:00:08.010
There are things that are oozing
black liquid at the bottom.

00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:10.850
There's shrivelled up
things in the corner.

00:00:10.850 --> 00:00:12.780
And there's a smell
that I don't really

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:16.600
want to ask where it came from.

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.130
But where does all
of that come from?

00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:23.310
And the answer is decomposition.

00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:28.030
Because it turns out we aren't
the only ones that eat food out

00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:29.650
of our fridges.

00:00:29.650 --> 00:00:31.500
There's bacteria
and fungi in there

00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:36.690
that break down organic material
and that's how they survive.

00:00:36.690 --> 00:00:40.620
And so that's how you
end up with broccoli that

00:00:40.620 --> 00:00:42.650
has its cell walls broken down.

00:00:42.650 --> 00:00:46.640
And so all of its water and
nutrients and other liquidy

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.160
things flow out and make
this disgusting black ooze.

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.440
And that's why you get the
fats in meat being broken down,

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:56.370
releasing this just
terrible rancid smell.

00:00:56.370 --> 00:01:00.130
And that's why the inside
of a peach gets eaten away

00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:02.640
and so there's nothing
but the exterior, which

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.129
collapses on itself,
shrivelling up like I

00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:07.820
do in a social situation.

00:01:07.820 --> 00:01:10.740
And I guess if you want
to know how that happens,

00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:12.870
we can find out.
