What "food" product do Americans spend 2.7 billion dollars on per year? Gum! This week on Let's Get Real, Erica Wides is crusading against gum. It doesn't provide nourishment, and it's filled with toxic chemicals; why are we so drawn to gum? Find out how gum has evolved in our society from being a treat to a performance enhancer. Hear about the social history of gum, and how the stigma of chewing gum has dissolved. Performance-enhancing gum cannot hydrate an athlete, and caffeine-infused gum cannot replace sleep! Learn more about the twitsted marketing of gum on this week's episode of Let's Get Real! Thanks to our sponsor, Cain Vineyard & Winery.
"Gum makes you hungrier because it stimulates your salivary glands and tells your brain that food is coming!" [8:05]

Then stay tuned as Toby Smith of Toby's Estate coffee talks about taking your trade seriously and, in the case of coffee, the importance of choosing your sources. Following that vein guest artist and piano-wielding chanteuse Stephanie Ault talks about how she got into her trade after following many different paths from acting to working at Mast Brother's Chocolate, which subsequently inspired he latest album. This episode is sponsored by The Hearst Ranch.
"[On the practice of cupping] Cupping, for the trade, is to find defects. But a lot of cupping now is about identifying coffees that really stand out on the table. And the great thing about cupping is that it is a very simple brewing method, you can put 50 cups on a table and cup so many coffees and find one that really stands out."
