Column | How to find the secret superfoods hiding in your grocery store Some $190 billion is spent annually on superfoods for better health, but the word has no legal or scientific definition, and there’s a cheaper way to reap the benefits.

Great column about over-hyping of so-called "superfoods" and the cash grab that goes along with it.

Everyone's looking for the magic cure when they just need to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables! and seeds and nuts.

The hamburger didn’t just travel through taste It moved through US power, corporate expansion & Cold War soft power before being remixed across Latin America

The thing about me is that I’m usually really not up to pop culture.

But THE SUGAR CANE PLANTATIONS! I started off my #FoodPolitics #FoodPolicy class w Mintz on Sweetness & Power, so how can we NOT talk about this performance tomorrow?! #academicsky

Puerto Rican foods like pastelillos de pizza & mayoketchup didn’t appear by accident They emerged from US colonial policy & economic control & culinary intelligence

RFK Jr’s new guidelines go “back to 1950s when everyone was eating lots of meat & dairy & not worrying much about vegetables, & heart disease was rampant. I’m all for eating whole foods but these guidelines dismiss 75 years of research” #FoodPolicy #FoodPolitics

I'm doing some research into the #SNAP program and would love any recommendations on books or academic articles.

I'm interested in the program as part of the larger social safety net and on its own.

Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail, SF Takes on Junk Food, and This Gay Week Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail, SF Takes on Junk Food, and This Gay Week It’s New Year’s resolution season—but what if making resolutions is actually setting yourself up to fail? As millions promise dramatic life changes, we take a hard look at why New Year’s resolutions often backfire, fuel shame, and create unrealistic expectations instead of real growth. Plus, San Francisco is taking an aggressive stand against junk food, filing lawsuits aimed at companies that profit from unhealthy products. Is this smart public health policy—or government overreach into what we eat? And Scott Jacobson joins me for This Gay Week, breaking down the latest LGBTQ news, culture, and political developments you need to know as we head into the new year. 📌 The Karel Cast is supported by viewer donations at patreon.com/reallykarel 👍 Please watch, like, and subscribe at youtube.com/reallykarel 🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartMedia, Spreaker, and more. 📺 Live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PT, with clips on TikTok and Instagram.
