Always enjoy listening to the Food Professor’s point of view of current events. Very informative!
Finally we have somone who actually has an understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes and not afraid to talk about it. Seems like all the “educated elite” who teach our kids all speak from the same handbook - I really enjoy listening to Sylvian and his perspective. While I don’t always agree with him I enjoy his in depth reasoning.
The interview with Per was epic.
The self-proclaimed “food professor” routinely parrots Loblaws PR talking points — it came out ages ago that he took a sizeable paycheck from them, which he’s since tried to cover up by removing from his site. I hate to trot out a tired cliche like “paid shill,” but when the shoe fits…
Awful show by corporate shill. I really tried to listen and give him the benefit of the doubt. But this guy has no moral and no integrity and is only there so serve his corporate overlords. Save yourself the time and don't listen to this drivel
