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.

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!).

In tonight’s very special first anniversary episode – The I Told You Show – I get real about being right. Going over all the news reports, studies and editorials on food – that with all the updating, connecting, “friending”, linking in, Pinteresting, Instagraming and Tweeting you have to do and therefore don’t have time to read or watch – I will show you that I was right all along that:
- Performance doesn’t come in bar form (but sports drinks do lead to sexting)
- Cher isn’t supposed to go bad, but food is
- We should believe in butter … even Dr. Weil thinks so (but we’re not sure about believing in his beard)
- Armageddon’s coming, and though you’ve made time to learn how to skateboard (at 46) you haven’t even bought one box of Raisin Bra
- And it’s a big, big potato-people world after all (and don’t pretend you don’t know whom we’re talking about!)
Special appearances by little Lexi and Hampton who just came home from ADHD palate disorder camp, and morbidly obese Alice texting in from the foodiness rabbit hole.
