Last week's season finale of The Simpsons seemed to touch on (and ridicule) every aspect of culinary news the past couple of years -- organic fare, vegetarians and food-borne illness, to name a few.
The first part of the show focused on fast-food chain Krustyburger and its extremely unhealthy options. So owner Krusty the Clown decides to launch a vegetarian burger:
It features patriotic music, fields of grain,
Krusty as a farmer, pseudo-healthy sounding claims and even an awkward burger-eating moment
target is restaurants and food companies that clearly aren't healthy or
from-the-heartland trying desperately to portray themselves as such
because people -- "for some reason" -- now care.
It takes six months to create an episode of the Simpson's, but with examples like KFC's supposedly healthy grilled chicken and Lay's "local" chips fresh in the news, it seems like it could have been written last week.
