Congratulations to Erica Wides; it's the one year anniversary of Let's Get Real! More importantly, it's the "I Told You Show", and Erica's here with the Foodiness Time Machine to take you back in time to show you that all of her food predictions have come true. Learn that the dietary saturated fat in butter does not actually contribute to coronary disease, but that foodiness is the real culprit! Erica also revisits the fitness foodiness fad, and finds further evidence that protein shakes don't help you "perform" better. Erica also talks about genetically modified apples that take 3 weeks to brown, as well as the benefits of real fermented foods. Would you believe that foodiness has been linked to diabetes, Alzheimer's, and even stupidity? Tune in and get educated on this very special episode of Let's Get Real! This program has been brought to you by Cain Vineyard & Winery.
"Foodiness has retrained us to mistrust our senses!"
"Fermentation is food that's slowly going bad. Isn't that what I said? You're supposed to eat food that goes bad."
-- Erica Wides on Let's Get Real

Why are Americans so afraid to eat horse? This week on Let's Get Real, Erica Wides is talking about the trendiness of meat, and falsehoods in the industrial food system. Would horse meat be a problem if it weren't hidden in microwavable lasagna? Erica thinks not! Later, tune in to hear Erica talk about the invasion of tattooed and moustachioed butchers in Brooklyn and beyond. Why has working with real food become an identity marker? Shouldn't eating food be the norm? Erica wraps up the show by explaining how foodiness has infiltrated vegetarian and vegan food and made it wholly unhealthy! This episode has been brought to you by Cain Vineyard & Winery.
"While nobody is up in arms about the pesticides, estrogen, antibiotics, or cancer-causing artificial colors and flavors intentionally put in our food, everyone is up in arms, or hooves, that food has been found in our food." [6:00] -- Erica Wides on Let's Get Real
