This is our first "Waist-Deep Dive," where we explore a topic that was found to be fascinating during the research of the main story (in this case, the Diet Culture Decoded episode), but did not quite fit there in it's entirety. So consider the Waist-Deep Dive as more of a companion piece to the original.

This time, we are going to step into the bizarre world of 1960s American food culture, where space-age dreams met suburban reality. This entertaining and eye-opening episode explores how Tang became an astronaut's companion, cereals turned into sugar delivery systems, and cocktails became suburban survival tools. From the chalky depths of Metrecal to the artificial heights of Tab, discover how these foods and drinks shaped (and were shaped by) an era of unprecedented change, paranoia, and progress. Join us for a witty, insightful journey through the most fascinating food decade in American history.

Join Donovan as he peels back the glossy labels of the health food industry to reveal the manipulative marketing tactics behind your "healthy" choices. From the low-fat craze of the 60s to today's gluten-free gold rush, this episode exposes how the food industry has weaponized our insecurities and health aspirations against us.

Through sharp wit and well-researched insights, discover:

• The real reason behind the low-fat diet disaster
• Why the $23 billion gluten-free industry might be the biggest food scam of our time
• What "natural" actually means on food labels (spoiler: nothing)
• The truth about processed foods and deceptive labeling
• Practical steps to break free from diet culture's grip

Whether you're a health food skeptic or a wellness warrior, this episode will forever change how you look at your grocery store's "health food" aisle.
