Not something Let’s Get Real made up: Down the Foodiness™ rabbit hole, past the Diet Soda Program For Less Diabetes, just to the right of the Zero Calorie Powered Donut Clinic For Diet And Health, you’ll find the The Coca Cola Institute for Health and Wellness giving you “nutrition” advice. That’s why you should always listen to Erica: if it comes in a bottle, don’t drink it…unless it’s booze.
Last week I did a very politically correct and culturally sensitive show called “The You-Know-Who’s Don’t Control the Media, Foodiness™ Does.” And in it I got real with you about how foodiness™ totally dominates the media. Well, it turns out Big Foodiness™ has bought out nutritionists and nutritionist organizations too. And here tonight to get real about it is non Kool-Aid Drinking nutritionist and food journalist Kristin Wartman to talk about her latest piece in Civil Eats about how the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics sold out to Coke, Pepsi and Unilver. So if your nutritionist prescribes diet soda with added vitamins — and you notice they just bought a new Cadillac Escalade – you might want to consider making a change. Or just listen to Let’s Get Real: it’s the only way to ensure that you don’t eat shit.
In tonight’s episode – The You-Know-Who’s Don’t Control The Media, Foodiness™ Does – I get real about how foodiness™ totally dominates the media; how the premise of every TV segment on food – how to lose weight, how to eat more fish, how to get more vitamins – starts off with the premise that fat-free zero calorie carb free chocolate chip fiber bars, tuna toxic with mercury and gummy vitamins with extra protein are food in the first place; how, if mercury, corn syrup, artificial flavors, artificial colors, estrogen, antibiotics and propylene glycol were called out as not food all these TV shows and TV nutritionists and TV segments would implode like the last scene from Poltergeist; and how that, as soon as Erica and her people (you know who they are) have seized back control of the media like God intended, we’ll be done with all the mishegoss of foodiness™ because the Chosen People don’t want a population of 600 pound potato people driving motorized scooters through Taco Bell drive thrus – those people don’t get the jokes.
