Description

If theres one thing Erica Wides wants you to know this week its that bacon doesnt come from birds. It cant. This week Lets Get Real breaks down the food simulacra of turkey bacon. Not only is the Franken-Foodiness of turkey bacon and other products (see: Egg Whackers) not making you healthier, its probably going to make you more sick or kill you in the end. Tune in and find out why eating real is just better, if not tastier! This episode is sponsored by Hearst Ranch. People forget that bacon isnt a product. Its part of a pig . . . and bacon was traditionally a survival cut for poor people. --Erica Wides on Lets Get Real

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.
