In tonight’s episode – Ketchup’s OK, It’s Finding Something To Put It On That’s The Problem – I get real about what foodiness has not done to condiments. Looking on the bright side for the first (and probably last) time I report that, indeed, Soylent Green is people (as well as capsules made in China), Kardashians are not people, but ketchup, mustard, mayo and salsa are still food; ketchup is pretty much still made out of tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt and spices and has not been replaced with a “red” flavored doppleganger (yet), and mustard is still made out of mustard seeds, vinegar, salt and white wine and has not been replaced with a “yellow” flavored doppleganger (yet) so, unlike beef, eggs, milk, olive oil, soy chips, protein bars, blueberries, smart water, vegetables, fruit, salmon, chicken and tuna you can actually eat them and finally feel safe.… [Read on]

In tonight’s episode – You Are What Your Fish Ate – I get real about what foodiness has done to fish; about how we’re all constantly told by too blond, too skinny, too happy, tan-in-January nutritionists on morning talk shows to eat oily fish like salmon or tuna in order to get our Omega 3’s, while conveniently ignoring that farmed salmon is low in Omega-3’s (and high in Omega-6’s, which can cause heart disease) and tuna is toxic with mercury (and on the verge of extinction); how non-foodies are vaguely aware something is up with fish, but they think, “I’m not eating McDonalds, so how bad could it be?”; and how to realistically get real about fish: only eat “wild” salmon; try smaller, lower profile fish like sardines and herring; and don’t eat tuna at all – it’s completely f*ed up.… [Read on]
