Certain Foods Can Lower Your IQ and Batter Blaster Is One of Them

It's well known among the intelligentsia that certain foods make you dumb. Hot Pockets, Funyuns, Chicken McNuggets, and Wheese Whiz come to mind. 

Now we've got a new brain-zapper in town,Organic Batter Blaster. Don't be impressed by the word "organic." You're buying a product that asks you to spray batter on a griddle. This is hardly a celebration of the beloved pancake. This is another infantile, Homer Simpsonesque fantasy of instant gratification. Direct your gastrointestinal curiosity elsewhere.

Hydrogenated vegetable oils and high-fructose corn syrup are two of the big problems with the American diet.

My usual reaction is that they make me feel older rather than stupider, but you may have a point there.

Greg Critser's Fatland, published 5 years ago, explained the rise of hydro oils and hfcs in a horrifying fashion.

I just watched the promo video for that Batter Blaster. It's another reminder how completely out of touch with reality this entire culture has become, IMHO. Years ago, when a two-bladed razor was novel, SNL did a spoof ad for a three-bladed razor, because "you'll believe anything." Well now we have four-bladed razors and no one blinks. That Batter Blaster is about as silly as the "Bass-O-Matic 76" they had Dan Akroyd hawking, but it will probably sell.
