"Guiltless Snacking" Becomes the Butt of a Fat Joke

  • Resumen

  • Since the dawn of our republic, Americans have been wrestling with a great existential question: “How can I shove limitless fistfuls of fatty snack foods into my bloated face without making my arteries harder than last week’s linguine?”

    Finally, in 1968, Proctor & Gamble discovers the answer: Olestra. Thanks to this new chemically-contrived fat substitute, we can now consume vast quantities of potato chips, cookies, crackers, and more—fat free and worry free. But (or should we say “butt”?) there’s a particularly unappetizing problem, which has thousands of Americans sprinting to the restroom. Listen, laugh and learn all about it.
