Ep 86 Gaslit Granola and Syndown Syrup (Council Warns Breakfast Now Contains 85% Less Reality)
Description
What happens when your granola comes with spin instead of oats? In this bonus satire bulletin from Peace Is Here, Kitty O’Compost reports on Syndown Industries’ latest inventions: Gaslit Granola™ and Syndown Syrup™.
With ads promising “freedom from inconvenient nutrition” and products boasting “pre-canceled fiber,” watchdogs warn breakfast may now contain 85% less reality than advertised. Each box comes with free Feel-Good Glasses™, rose tint only. Because in the world of Syndown, ignorance really is bliss.
But after laughs (hopefully!), author Avis Kalfsbeek takes a moment to step away from the satire and share unscripted gratitude for the end of Mono Mutante’s launch week.
Why did this series begin? Why does it continue? In a heartfelt reflection, Avis speaks about her father and brother—third- and fourth-generation farmers to whom Mono Mutante is dedicated—about her AA sponsor and the daily practice of recovery, and about the spiritual heart of this work:
If we see the God in a tomato, or in the eyes of a beautiful cow, and realize those eyes are no different from our dog’s, then peace becomes possible.
This bonus episode is both a wink and a bow: a thank-you to readers, listeners, and fellow travelers in the messy, hopeful pursuit of food justice, compassion, and joy.
