Description

Cereal has been a part of Americans breakfast since the 1950s, but Erica Wides is here to tell you that- once again- the public has been hoodwinked by Foodiness. This week on Lets Get Real, Erica is diving into a big bowl of sugary cereal to tell listeners that cereal isnt real food. Tune into this episode to hear how industrial agriculture has taken over the Midwest to turn grains into corn syrup clusters. How have the fake food corporations brainwashed people to believe that breakfast cereals are a necessary part of every morning? Listen in to learn how some cereal brands have expanded to make other foodiness products in addition to their unhealthy, bastardized oats! Thanks to Cain Vineyard and Winery for sponsoring todays program, and thanks to Knifeshow for todays break music. Cereal is the quintessential foodiness product because we were raised to believe in it. [6:45] If cereal was the original foodiness product, it has gone even further down the rabbit hole because now there are foodiness versions of foodiness those products.

On Let’s Get Real Chef Erica Wides walks you down the aisles of the surreal world of food, serving up a heaping dose of reality by separating the food from the foodiness so you can forage, hunt, gather, trap and fish for real food anywhere, even in a foodiness-filled mega market. Incisive, pragmatic, sarcastic, and an unrepentant know-it-all when it comes to anything food, on Let’s Get Real Chef Erica Wides does the job for you of sifting out everything that’s fake in the world of food – from “foodiness” marketing and cooking show shams to “health-halo green-washing” and annoying whole-food righteousness – so you never unknowingly chow down on carpeting again.
