Let's Get Real

Episode 61: Cereal is the Devil’s Work


Listen Later

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 Let’s Get Real, Erica is diving into a big bowl of sugary cereal to tell listeners that cereal isn’t 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 & Winery for sponsoring today’s program, and thanks to Knifeshow for today’s 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.” [18:00]
