It's official. We've reached rock bottom. Erica Wides is all doom & gloom this week on Let's Get Real, and she's officially found the bottom of the foodiness rabbit-hole. If you think orange flavored drinks with no orange is bad, how about an edible Fanta paper advertisement that tastes like orange beverage with no orange. Yikes. Get a reality check on a very disturbing episode of the most "real" food show on the airwaves. This program was sponsored by Cain Vineyard & Winery.
