In this video essay, we explore South Park's satirical take on processed foods and the rise of plant-based alternatives, using the episode "Let Them Eat Goo" as a framework. The episode dives into the debate over traditional meat versus plant-based "goo" products, poking fun at the trend of meat substitutes and the complex issues surrounding food production, health, and environmentalism.
We’ll break down how South Park humorously addresses the ethical concerns, marketing tactics, and consumer preferences that drive the processed food industry.
