| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Food Heels podcast. |
| 0:08.1 | Warning, side effects of this podcast may include increased health and vitality, thoughts of living longer, developing a more positive outlook on life, an increase in sexual activity, feelings of joy, cravings for kale and keelaw, and a spike in Tinder matches. |
| 0:18.8 | In rare cases, people have experienced a strong desire to put down the Ben and Jerry's, get off the couch, and take a walk outside. If you experience any of these symptoms, tell your Facebook friends immediately. |
| 0:27.6 | All right, welcome, Food Heels Nation. Thanks for joining me. I'm Alison Melody. Fascist, out of touch, crass, privileged, dumb. Just some of the names that I was called online yesterday |
| 0:40.9 | when a very prominent newspaper posted an extremely fear-mongering article about a COVID comeback, |
| 0:48.7 | basically insinuating that we should stay inside over Labor Day weekend. |
