The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 10, 2023

With Super-Duper prices to go with them.

And the foods that the experts were saying last week we should eat every day, this week other experts are saying we should never eat.

Personally I think chocolate covered espresso beans are a great superfood.

The only superfood I know is Italian food. Pizza above all.

And the new stuff is super duper expensive.

Now with added Duper!

Super foods? I’ve heard an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but, really? People these days are raging about apples?

For me I’ll stick with the whopper of a cheeseburger. Make that a double.

I think every time a “study” comes out it should be mandatory that all who funded it should be stated. How many things that studies say are good for you were funded by the people that produce that item?

NOW new and improved!

The longer I live, the more I see that Woody Allen’s movie Sleeper was a window into the future. All the foods that were “good” and “bad” for you when, Allen’s character went to sleep, swapped places in the future he woke up to.

so does that mean that these foods have a different costume to wear from they’re super versioned selves. ;\

Putin’ On The Ritz.

Poor Brutus, trying to keep up with the latest culinary advancements. Those super duper foods are probably 100% manmade with no natural ingredients.

What will they think of next ?

Next up, A.I. created foods, no fat, no sugar, non of that dreaded gluten, no calories, no nothing! Isn’t very filling though, but A.I. is working it out.

Super duper higher prices and smaller boxes.

It wouldn’t surprise me.

And soon they will have a pill version of that super food that will prolong your life, make you healthy, give you energy, will cost you as much as you spend monthly on groceries AND they will have a stupid ad campaign with bad actors that will be every other commercial on your tv for the foreseeable future. Somewhere, P.T. Barnum is smiling. Though l doubt that Brutus would partake. Not so sure about Gladys though,…..

“You know the superfoods that have been all the rage?”

No, fill me in. Conversations with my friends don’t usually involve food.

Good one and great comment on marketing practices. Next up: new and improved Super Duper!

And Gladys goes on, “and they are all ‘organic’”…

Since they consider plant based food super, I’ll stick with villain foods.

I’m guessing the foods Gladys is talking about in the last panel come from a super duper market.

And now they are mineral-based!
