There was some country singer or something called Trisha I think (her husband apparently sung in Biden's inauguration too?) and some other super white lady and they were frying pork. I guess it wasn't fatty enough for them so they splashed a bunch of bacon fat onto it. To make it complete, after it was done they also put a bunch of whipped cream onto it. They were doing all that while discussing how her husband made like two pizzas for her on their first date. The next show was some kind of contest hosted by Guy Fieri (lmao) and they were doing the whole showing photos of the contestants' past cooking thing and they were all just making the most disgusting shit conceivable, some guy had made like an enormous ball of cheese, ketchup and I think macaroni with no discernible shape.
How do these people survive lol
They don't. Food network is just propaganda paid for by big health insurance firms to create health crises to increase profit margins.
In order to keep food production profitable we create these decadent television shows to instill a culture of overconsumption. This in turn creates health issues like heart disease. Heart disease is very good for business in the private healthcare industry. So it's not really a bug as much as a feature. This also helps overshadow the fact that 13 million kids face food insecurity by creating a culture of plently in american food production. If we look back in history we see food commodity lobbyists shape the american diet like the pork industry making pig meats a staple of american breakfasts. Similar things happened with the sugar industry and the beef industry. I do not think it is unbelievable to see the medical industry being instrumental with the American decadence culture in eating to help increase insulin sales and expensive heart surgeries.
if you want Guy Fieri kino then watch Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Very wholesome show.
heart disease kills ~165 out of every 100,000 Americans every year
659k deaths in 2019, #1 killer
dunno how COVID-19 will affect the rankings though
I do miss how Food Network used to have actual cooking shows with recipes and advice
Now it's mostly competitions and "Gee golly, look at this restaurant that makes Deep Fried Donkey Butter Cauliflower Pizzas" types of shit
The weird thing is that they weren't really acting like it's weird shit...
What's the deal with them? Apparently they are "famous" but I've never heard anything about them before.
I think this line from Wikipedia puts Brooks' success into perspective:
As of 2020, Brooks is now the only artist in music history to have released nine albums that achieved diamond status in the United States (surpassing the Beatles' former record of six)
Yearwood is quite successful herself, but not on that level.
we don't tend to export country music as much as the other genres (you're welcome)
Ill love my donkey sauce in private please don’t make fun of my culture 😭
