The MLM industry has rebranded for the TikTok era. Now, instead of hawking LuLaRoe leggings, women are paying $500 for PDFs on how to become micro influencers. Support my independent journalism:
In this episode, we take a hard look at the latest changes to the food pyramid and ask the big question: are these updates finally rooted in real science—or just recycled nutrition dogma?Next, we dive deep into saturated fat. Not all saturated fats are created equal, so we explore the different types, why the body actually needs saturated fat, and whether some sources can be considered genuinely healthy.Finally, we tackle one of nutrition's most controversial topics: Is there really a correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol and heart disease? To separate fact from fear, we play a powerful clip from Dr. Aseem Malhotra as he breaks down what the actual studies show—and what they don't.If you're confused by conflicting dietary advice and want evidence-based clarity, this episode is a must
The new food pyramid has arrived after much anticipation and delay, even speculation and conspiracy, after the 2025 MAHA Report was riddled with errors and sources, or the lack thereof, indicating the use of AI in its preparation. Now, like an episode of South Park, RFK Jr has flipped the original food pyramid upside down. Is the new food pyramid and health guidance, which few refer to anyway, actually going to make Americans healthier or is it another pyramid scheme? On this episode of Ground Zero, Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and discusses the - Food Pyramid Scheme.
A North Texas reality television husband and wife are now convicted felons after a federal jury found they ran a multi-million-dollar pyramid scheme that prosecutors say preyed on trust inside the Black community during the pandemic. A Georgia man saved his mother from a burning home, then lost his life after going back inside to rescue the family dog, authorities say. Drew Nelson reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on Words With Wista, the scams are scamming, and the timeline is spiraling. We break down a $25M pyramid scheme that took thousands for a ride, influencer divorce news that didn't shock me but sent their followers into a tailspin, and the growing dangers of parasocial relationships when people confuse internet access with real life. On the political side, the Nobel Institute says no to prize-sharing, the Smithsonian quietly edits impeachment history, Minnesota's SNAP funding gets frozen, and world leaders reshuffle a major global meeting because a UFC fight took over the White House. Add in RFK Jr. playing nutritionist, Paramount Skydance layoffs, monkeys allegedly loose in St. Louis, Blade possibly being scrapped, and Cardi B shutting down the “revenge baby” chatter. Chaos everywhere, accountability nowhere. IG: itswista SubStack: wordswithwista
The new food pyramid has finally arrived from the USDA and HHS alongside a a website titled realfood.gov and an HHS press release about the new guidance. Despite the attention paid to vegetables and fruit, the guidelines, which few ever read, suggest eating more meat and dairy. But these are two of the biggest industries in the United States and their products are scarcely eaten by the world's Blue Zones. We will explore in careful analysis each detail of the new guidelines and compare the bullet points to what we know about the healthiest and longest living people globally, including factors such as community and mindset. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

I think by now, most of us have seen the "D.A.R.E. was a cop pyramid scheme" video (if not, it's linked below). I got tagged so many times I felt like I needed to at least look into it; I remember going through the D.A.R.E. program in 5th grade myself, so curiosity got the best of me. What I learned by dipping my toe in, looking for MLM and Pyramid Scheme connections, was way more than I ever expected. Racism, Police propaganda, MLM sponsorships, and thousands upon thousands of kids who loved and fondly remember a government funded program whose cost could not justify its means.Show NotesD.A.R.E Pyramid Scheme videoThings I Learned Last Night Podcast21 Chump StreetD.A.R.E.

RFK Jr. says that new dietary guidelines will be released in December and he claims they will change food culture in the U.S. We can hope this change is positive, but considering how RFK Jr has backed mRNA, rubber stamped a MAHA report with AI writing and errors, and push processed prepared meals, the change might be negative. Already the USDA recommends vegetables and fruits, but RFK Jr. has hinted how the new guidelines will include more promotion of meat and dairy products, though he say “Whole Foods” will be a big part of the new guidance. Is it possible the guidelines get worse? Does it matter when few consult them to begin with? What does it matter when some States try to independently start initiatives that lack funding and respect anyway? Even if the entire government of every state moved in a positive direction is it possible the public would rebel? At the core of this problem is a cultural issue that neglects food education, or what the Japanese call Shokuiku, and it extends to healthcare in general. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

County Road 2209 is open and a re-filed Florida bill would crush pyramid schemes
You've probably seen ads online promising easy money—“Make up to £300 a day using just your phone! Join me and change your life” It sounds tempting but here's the catch, most of the time, these claims are a scam designed to pull you into a pyramid scheme, afterall if making money online were that easy, we'd all be doing it. Pyramid schemes often masquerade as legitimate Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) businesses. While MLMs are legal in the UK and the USA if they focus on actual product sales, pyramid schemes make their money from recruitment alone, with little or no genuine product involved. Participants are asked to pay upfront fees, and the money collected is used to pay commissions to those who joined earlier. What is a pyramid scheme? How can you spot a pyramid scheme? What should you do if you fall victim? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: How can you protect yourself from being mugged?

This week's episode is all about MLMs — but not in the way they'd want. I asked listeners to send in their funniest encounters, and the results did not disappoint.

In this eye-opening episode, we unpack the history, politics, and science (or lack thereof) behind the original USDA Food Guide Pyramid. Once considered the gold standard for nutrition, this now-controversial chart may have done more harm than good. From the overemphasis on refined carbs to the demonization of fats, we explore how misguided guidelines influenced generations of eating habits—and what we should be doing differently today.
Pyramid schemes have been a comedic punchline for ages now, but they've never been more relevant. Not only is there still a thriving culture of multi-level exploitation in this country, but the dark spirit of pyramid schemes has wormed its way into countless aspects of American life. This week, Adam speaks with Bridget Read, writer at New York Magazine and the author of Little Bosses Everywhere: How the Pyramid Scheme Shaped America, to discuss how our country became one big pyramid scheme.

They play beautifully layered and thoughtful music akin to bands such as Pavement and Broken Social Scene with touches of Radiohead and Bright Eyes. Their new single, “I Saw You First” is a wondrous song which captures the mixture of fear and comfort that new love brings. Low Phase has only just begun to create and I can't wait to see where they take us.You can catch Low Phase at the Pyramid Scheme on July 12 in Grand RapidsLow PhaseCheck out their musicFollow on Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, YoutubeFans With BandsSubscribe to Fans With Bands on your favorite podcast service such as Apple, Youtube, Spotify, Audible, or Amazon Music.

Hello! Today we have on Bridget Read, the author of a great new book called “Little Bosses Everywhere: How the Pyramid Scheme Shaped America.” (Out today!) We talk about the history of the MLM (multi-level marketing) from its alleged origins with the Yankee peddler and the frontier and the more insidious real story of eugenicists, scammers, and quackery. A lot of questions you might have about pyramid schemes and MLMs will be answered here: Why do they all do vitamins and supplements? Why did AmWay and the DeVos family have such a hold on Trump? Great book. Take a listen. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit goodbye.substack.com/subscribe
This is a fascinating episode that takes up thinkers that the podcast has covered before—the Koch brothers, Austrian economists like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, and others—but from a different angle: that of the entrepreneurial work ethic. Historian Erik Baker's superb book on the topic, Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America, offers a genuinely absorbing tour of this most American of ideologies, one that has emerged again and again, in various guises and in different circumstances, to reconcile workers to the contradictions of the U.S. economy, especially the shortage of jobs that has come with its many "innovations" and changes. What are the historical and even spiritual sources of the entrepreneurial work ethic, and what ideological needs does it serve for bosses and managers? Why is it so seductive to Americans? How does it relate to deeply American impulses relating to responsibility, guilt, and shame? In what ways did the entrepreneurial work ethic serve U.S. aims during the Cold War? And how has it endured in our age of Silicon Valley tech overlords and Donald Trump, entrepreneur, being re-elected? We take up these questions and many more in this rich conversation.Sources:Erik Baker, Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America (2025)— "Fairytale in the Supermarket," The Baffler, Jan 14, 2025Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936)Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Positive Thinking (1952)Sarah Jaffe, Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone, (2021)Listen again:"Bomb Power" (w/ Erik Baker), Dec 19, 2023...and don't forget to subscribe to Know Your Enemy on Patreon to listen to all of our premium episodes!
