Thanksgiving food warning: AVOID these toxic foods and ingredients!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well, well, as you sit down to stuff your face with turkey this Thanksgiving, if indeed that's what you're eating, or maybe you're eating tofurkey, which is a tofu turkey, now you need to be aware of some of the crazy ingredients that are in the food products that you might be served by,
perhaps family members who don't know anything about what's in food and by the way most of your family members will have no idea what's in food so let me give you a bit of a warning here about some of the toxic ingredients number one almost every gravy mix is made with monosodium glutamate that's
That's right, MSG. It's a brain-frying neurotoxin, an excitotoxin is what it's called, and it causes extreme headaches in some people who are sensitive to it.
It's a taste enhancer.
It makes the gravy taste more...
Well, the Japanese call the taste umami.
It's a depth of the taste...
That goes beyond sweet and beyond savory.
It's really a...
I don't know.
It's another taste dimension.
And it makes things taste really amazing.
But it's also toxic.
So this MSG is hidden in almost every gravy mix that you find anywhere.
It's also called yeast extract.
Sometimes when they don't want to use the word monosodium glutamate, or the phrase, they will change it to be yeast extract, or they'll use an ingredient called autolyzed yeast extract.
Or autolyzed proteins or hydrolyzed proteins.
So any of these ingredients, MSG, monosodium glutamate, yeast extract, hydrolyzed or autolyzed is just another name for MSG and it's toxic.
So you should avoid any gravy mixes or What I would do if I were going somewhere and someone was trying to serve me gravy, I would ask them, hey, is that made from a mix?
And if they said yes...
You know, I would remind them how much they suck for making a Thanksgiving dinner with mixes of processed garbage food.
You know, why don't you just do it old school style?
Have some, you know, turkey drippings from making the turkey.
You know, you got fat in there, some animal fat, and you put some...
Well, tapioca starch would be the best way to thicken it.
People typically use corn starch, but that's GMO, so you don't want to use that.
But use a different kind of thickener.
Add some salt and pepper to it.
Maybe some pan-fried onions or something.
Make a gravy mix that's made from scratch.
That would be the way to do it.
I would eat that, but I'm not going to eat gravy made from a bag, a powder mix.
Add water, and now it's MSG that looks like gravy.
And it's not just in the gravy, by the way, that you've got to watch out for this MSG. You've got to watch for it in the stuffing.
Now, this is a very odd type of food.
What the hell is stuffing?
I mean, seriously.
What?
What is stuffing?
Well, the stuffing that you buy at the store is just a bunch of processed garbage ingredients enhanced with MSG. And it's like...
It doesn't even resemble what used to be stuffing, which was usually bread, different kinds of breads or, I don't know, like chopped up bread crust, for example, could be used as stuffing.
Maybe a few onions in there, something like that.
A lot of different recipes for stuffing.
But the stuff that you buy at the store that is called instant stuffing, forget it.
Stuff is just garbage processed food.
I wouldn't touch that stuff.
So beware of that.
Alright, the next thing you need to be aware of is, of course, canola oil.
Canola oil is going to be in lots and lots of sauces and dressings.
So if you're having a salad this Thanksgiving, watch out for the salad dressing fraud, in which you buy a salad dressing and it says on the front, olive oil, right?
You've seen this.
You've seen there's a lot of famous brands of salad dressing.
Sometimes they'll say, made with, really, really tiny, like, made with olive oil.
That's on the front.
And if you turn it around and you look at the ingredients, the number one ingredient is not olive oil, it's canola oil.
All of the dressings that I've seen in a regular grocery store that say olive oil on the front label are actually made primarily with canola oil.
Oh yeah, it's total labeling fraud.
And of course this canola oil is rapeseed oil and it's genetically modified.
So you think you're eating olive oil, you're actually eating genetically modified rapeseed oil.
How's that?
How's that for a little wake up call for your MSG enhanced Thanksgiving?
See, this is what happens when you go to the grocery store and you believe the food companies.
They're all lying to you.
They're all poisoning you.
They know that.
They're laughing at you.
You bought their turkey.
It's all hormone injected.
You bought their gravy mix.
It's all loaded with MSG. You bought their olive oil salad dressing.
It's all freaking GMO rapeseed oil.
They're laughing their heads off at you.
Well, maybe not you, but your family members who bought this stuff because most people, again, are totally clueless about what's in their food.
By the way, this is even true if you have a potato salad or a coleslaw or something that's made with canola oil.
You often have that or sometimes you have different kinds of sauces for potatoes, for example.
And they're made with canola oil too.
You know, I was thinking that my horror of a Thanksgiving dinner would be like, I don't know, genetically modified corn drizzled with Velveeta or something.
It's not even cheese.
They don't even try to call it cheese.
Velveeta.
I had to walk into Walmart the other day.
Because I needed something that only they sell, which is horrible.
And I'm always just horrified to walk into Walmart because I just can't wait, you know, to see the people walking around with flip-flops, just like wife-beater t-shirts, covered in tattoos, just looking all ragged.
You know, the people of Walmart.
And, no, I'm not judgmental, am I? No, of course not.
And the first thing I saw when I walked in was a giant wall of Velveeta.
It was a message that said, if you're dumb enough to shop at Walmart, you're probably stupid enough to buy Velveeta too.
So it was like right in your face.
Welcome to Walmart.
Buy some freaking Velveeta because you're stupid.
So it was just this wall.
And what's hilarious about it is it didn't need any refrigeration, right?
Because it's not actually food.
And that stuff has a shelf life of years.
They could leave that wall there.
And the wall is probably a ballistic wall.
It's probably immune to, you know, 308 rounds or AK-47 rounds.
If someone, if ISIS unleashes a mass shooting in Walmart, hide behind the Velveeta.
I bet that stuff has amazing ballistic properties.
You know, I think I might even do a video on that.
That would be hilarious.
But of course, I'd have to go to Walmart and buy Velveeta.
What if somebody catches that on a camera?
Where's the health ranger, man?
He was at Walmart buying Velveeta.
It's like, dude, it's for a video.
Yeah, sure it is, man.
You're eating Velveeta.
All right.
Anyway, don't eat Velveeta for Thanksgiving, please.
I want you to be healthy.
I want you to eat healthy things.
And by the way, if you eat turkey, the only turkey that I would eat personally Is wild game turkey that someone shot in the wild.
And by the way, I have turkeys on my ranch.
And I don't shoot them because I'm not a hunter.
I don't shoot animals for food or for sport.
I kind of think that's odd, personally.
Nevertheless, if we were in a collapse scenario and I was really, really hungry and I saw like eight or nine turkeys marching across the yard and I said, hey, we could use some turkey gravy.
You know, if I was starving, yeah, I would take one out and have an actual wild turkey.
Nothing wrong with that if you need to do it.
I'm just saying I don't hunt animals for sport.
I think that's silly.
In any case, any case.
All right.
Next thing you got to watch out for any of the drinks.
Watch out for the drinks.
Obviously there's, there's soda and there's diet soda.
Both of them are toxic.
Both of them are going to cause type two diabetes.
So in the regular soda, of course, you have the high fructose corn syrup made from genetically modified corn toxic stuff.
And then you have the diet soda made with toxic aspartame, which also causes not just problems with your pancreas, but possibly brain tumors as well.
And seizures and things like that.
Oh, how wonderful.
Just what you need, isn't it, for Thanksgiving?
So watch out for all the drinks.
Don't drink sugars.
You should never drink liquid sugars.
You should never drink aspartame or sucralose or artificial chemical sweeteners.
And if your family is serving this stuff, try to educate them a little bit.
Say, look, what are you doing?
You're trying to make us all obese and diabetic.
Seriously, is that what this Thanksgiving is all about?
Here, have some MSG, genetically modified rapeseed oil.
How about some aspartame and high fructose corn syrup?
Yeah.
You know, is it any wonder half the family is medically obese?
I mean, give me a break.
Might as well just serve metformin and other diabetes drugs with the meal.
That's how insane it is.
It's like it's the Obamacare Thanksgiving.
We all got to meet our copay, you know, for the prescription drugs.
All right.
What's next?
Ah, yes.
We have the issue of drinking alcohol and then taking Tylenol.
Now, here's the thing.
A lot of people don't even know this.
Most people have no freaking clue.
Again, most people are clueless about everything.
They don't know anything.
But this is in that category.
Alcohol and Tylenol, when combined, causes permanent liver damage.
It can actually destroy your liver, cause permanent liver failure.
Now, if you're drinking alcohol and you have a headache, a lot of people will reach for Tylenol.
And the generic name is acetaminophen.
And this over-the-counter drug, painkiller, acetaminophen, is extremely, extremely toxic to the liver when combined with alcohol.
And And yet, both of these are over-the-counter.
And people are almost never really warned about any of this.
And it's the holidays, I've noticed, that people are slamming alcohol and then slamming Tylenol and slamming Tums and slamming all this stuff.
And they wonder why their head hurts and why they're having liver failure and why they're suddenly diabetic the next time they visit the doctor.
And why they're broke because they're spending all their money on pharmaceuticals.
Give me a break.
It's the stuff you're eating and drinking and slamming, you know...
Either don't drink alcohol or don't take Tylenol.
Pick one.
You can either get smashed or you can be pain-free, I guess.
But don't try to do both or use a different painkiller like ibuprofen.
But even that, of course, can cause intestinal bleeding if you overdo that as well.
So I guess you have your choice.
You can drink and crap blood from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or you can drink and damage your liver with Tylenol.
Or maybe you could just not drink.
You'd probably be better not even go to that Thanksgiving dinner, frankly, and not drink, not argue with your family, not eat their MSG, and not have to deal with all that BS anyway.
Just stay home.
Have a nice time.
Have something healthy.
Nice smoothie, avocado, coconut oil.
Do something healthy.
You're going to feel a lot better.
You won't have to slam drugs and go visit the doctor the very next day.
In any case...
Whatever you want to do, obviously some of this is satire, so don't take it all too seriously, but have a great Thanksgiving.
I hope you actually do have a good time, and I hope you choose healthy food for your Thanksgiving as much as possible so that you don't suffer the consequences of toxic ingredients.
