The hosts argue this is a "smokescreen" for a more serious federal ruling regarding Kraft's claims of having "no artificial preservatives," which a judge recently allowed to proceed due to the presence of synthetic citric acid.

The hosts find her inclusion of a story about her musical director's prostate cancer in a cooking segment to be bizarre. They criticize the "elitist" trend of adding expensive ingredients like truffles or lobster to a simple, cheap dish.

The hosts point out that the source of the story was Kraft's own Tumblr page, launched during "Advertiser Week." They estimate the value of such a four-minute "earned media" segment on national public radio to be between $50,000 and $150,000.

This leads to a discussion about the recurring Velveeta "Ham Radio Guy" commercial and Adam Curry's recent voiceover audition for a National Geographic reality show titled "Sheer Madness" about sheep farming.
