Coffee Aroma From the Can Is As Natural As New-Car Smell

LISTEN TO THE SHOW:

In tonight’s episode – Coffee Aroma From the Can Is As Natural As New-Car Smell – I get real about foodiness illusions; how the aroma of OJ in your OJ is an injected OJ fragrance, the scent of coffee out of the can comes from a coffee-smell spray, and your hamburger was gassed to look red, so you can’t even trust your senses when it comes to foodiness; how the food technologists behind these illusions are about as trustworthy and truthful as scientologists, and you have to drink the Kool-Aid to be either; and how you can trust real food – that is, as long as it hasn’t been f*ed with, but since it’s all been f*ed with, you’re going to have to grow your own, or not eat anything…but at least you’ll be thin. And not a chump.

His And Hers Are For Hassidic Weddings and Antiperspirant, Not Food

LISTEN TO THE SHOW:

In tonight’s episode – His And Hers Are For Hassidic Weddings and Antiperspirant, Not Food – I get real about gender-specific foodiness™ marketing; how nutrition bars and instant oatmeal for women and gummy vitamins and diet sodas for men made of corn syrup and artificial sweeteners aren’t for any gender (even Jamie Lee Curtis); how separating genders is for gay bars, Hassidic weddings, and hair products, not food; how real food is for men, women, boys, girls, post-op trannies and every other gender, but foodiness™ is for suckers, and gender-specific foodiness™ is for super-suckers; and if you want to want to be manly show it in your moisturizer and if you want to be feminine let it show in your “skinny” vodka…like God and Grey Advertising intended.

BBC Radio 5 Gets Real With Me About Food and Foodiness™ in New York

LISTEN TO THE SHOW:

Saturday, September 22 at 8:30 pm EST BBC Radio 5’s New York City dispatch – Up All Night (hosted by Mark Riley) – had me on to discuss why the city’s limit on soft drink sizes won’t work (because those potato people will just drink 2 Mountain Dews! Hello!); why New York City is no longer the capital of thin (because we now eat at 7-11 like the rest of the country); and why Brooklyn’s incredible real-food movement is never gonna move the country’s scales (because if we expect the 99% to raise their own chickens they’re going to keep on eating mcnuggets!).
