TST 4/15/23 - The Greatest Conspiracy Rarely Told
A recent TikTok user went viral for pointing out the bizarre, dangerous, and gross ingredients in Great Value brand foods at Walmart. The user was called ‘eagle-eyed’ for spotting what is, and has been in many cases, in bold print on the back of packages for decades. The question is: where has this social media sleuth with his eagle eyes been? Here on our show we have been pointing this out for over a decade. But it’s all about clicks, it seems, because this person still buys the products. He even tells you to “shop at target” in one video. These viral videos are very likely sponsored directly by companies, and allowed to go viral by algorithms, because it is a new form of marketing. Even if that means trashing the products, because it is a virtue apparently in our society to consume the most outrageously disgusting things that we try to call food, or even entrainment. We dress the same way, glorifying deformity/artificial flaws and disease. One of the greatest conspiracies is how food companies have manipulated and paid off regulators and customers. Now companies are even using the same marketing otherwise reserved for kids - colors, glitter, cartoons, etc. - for adults because, as this implies, they have become permanently adolescent.
