💼 Careercow The Food Babe

[*Asterisk*]

I was reading the Washington Post this morning, and all of a sudden I come across an article about Kraft Mac & Cheese being forced to dull her color. Apparently this is due to pressure from a blogger and Net personality named Vani Hari, known as "the Food Babe."

I've never heard of this bitch before today, but apparently she's a pretty big deal among our nations Dr. Oz crowd. Even appearing on Ol' Mehmet's TV show to hawk her 18 dollar monthly dietary guide.

How much does she know about what she's talking about? Let me tell you: her scientific background is so rigorous, she doesn't even know how to pronounce the word "flammable."

I'm not sure weather or not she's too famous to be a mere lolcow at this point, but from the looks of things, she's definitely dumb enough.

I'm voting "not lolcow" because of her influence. She's a menace.

 

[Dr. Meme]

Lolcows are bizarre people/groups/events, that are on the Internet, and respond negatively to people in a funny way. They are not countries, political figures, celebrities, your highschool bully, or some random YouTuber that isn't a drama queen

Is she really a celebrity yet? Yeah, she has articles featuring her in real newspages, but so did a lot of those Gamergate people.

I wouldn't post a thread, in this section of the forums at least, about Dr. Oz because he's definitely a real celebrity. This bitch I've never heard of until less than an hour ago.

FOOD BABE IS THE WORST. I blame her for single-handedly bringing back a slew of idiotic "SODA CONTAINS DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE, A KEY INGREDIENT IN ANTIFREEZE" type memes.

The infamous Subway/Yoga Mat meme:

This is more or less her entire shtick, "THING CONTAINS X, AN INGREDIENT IN (BAD THING)" And she actually has influence, she gets companies to do things. Scary.

That being said, why the fuck does she care about Kraft? She doesn't eat it. If you're so fucking health conscious about your kids then you won't feed them it either. My parents never fed me Kraft Mac N Cheese, they just didn't buy it, who the fuck buys unhealthy shit and then whines its unhealthy. There are so many goddamn macaroni and cheese things on the market.

The article you link references a microwave post she apparently took down. Someone did a.. study (using this term extremely loosely) where they, I'm not fucking kidding, whispered "HITLER" and "SATAN" over and over to glasses of water. They also microwaved some water. Apparently the Hitler water had the same crystal structure (???) as the microwaved water which undeniably proves that microwaves are EVIL and ruin your food. She used this study as the basis of a blog post about how you shouldn't use microwaves.

I don't know if she's a lolcow, but she can fuck right off. Kraft mac isn't exactly good for you--everyone knows that. It's also delicious. Nothing says "fuck it, I'm giving myself a day off from adulthood" like making a pot of macaroni and flopping on the couch in your PJs. Some people just want to suck the fun out of everything.

Is she a vegan?

You're goddamn right. When I was a kid I got Kraft Mac when I was good (admittedly rarely) and I loved the shit out of it, and I grew up taller than anyone so she can go straight to hell, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

Shoot I might make some right now, if I can make it downstairs.

 

[TheUltimatePickle]

While a lot of what she says is pretty retarded, I don't think she qualifies as a lolcow.

I don't think she believes the crap she's shilling but she's making millions of dollars off the gullibility and fear of others.

She's definitely not a lolcow. She's really, really good at PR and marketing, lolcows are not which is why they're lolcows.

She's more akin to a scam artist.

you seem really mad about this chick

I think she is a lolcow. She doesn't respond to criticism very well: https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/vani-hari-a-k-a-the-food-babe-finally-responds-to-critics/
She scrubbed a bunch of old articles when people pointed out how stupid they were, and then called all her critics misogynists. http://foodbabe.com/2014/12/06/food-babe-critics/
Pretty sure she gets rid of dissenting comments on her blog, or at least used to
Maybe she is somewhat mainstream successful but she's still just a blogger and twitter warrior

I was expecting her to be fat based on the name.

The Food Babe is not fat but I still wouldn't have sex with her

 

[Frank_Jaeger]

So, she's the Anita Sarkeesian of food products, is what I gather from all this?

I totally would. I've learned to take the Snoop Dogg approach to hot chicks I neither love nor respect. As soon as you bust, you're off the cot.

Hot is still hot in my book.

She'd start talking about the calory content of semen while you're doing it though

Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure she'd call the police on me after sifting through my garbage and finding a frozen pizza box.

Oh dang... a FROZEN pizza? The #FOODBABEARMY is gonna be kicking your door down any minute now, dude. Those things contain vegetable oils, which can be fatal if you drink a gallon in one sitting.

Fucking woman. Like people at the bottom can afford much better than fucking EZ Mac.

 

[AnimuGinger]

She's stupid and peddles bullshit to bored/naive people in an unscientific manner. Not overly Lolcow worthy, but her potential to damage is what makes her special.
