Line 47:
* [[Bill Nye]] was once explaining medicinal properties of various plants. Taking a bite of lemon, as his face scrunched up he said "It's got to be good for you..."
* One episode of ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]'' throws this one completely out the window. Pete the Younger overdoses on creamed corn (apparently based on the notion that it's weapons-grade nasty, so logically it must be tremendously bad for him) to get out of going to a school dance his parents are pressuring him to participate in. He has to have his stomach pumped to prevent a fatal case of creamed corn poisoning ("Creamed corn isn't the answer, son!" declares the doctor). He ends up going to the dance anyway, as the resulting "gut-kludge" emits a radioactive green glow, and he sets up a table near the restrooms charging dancegoers a fee to see it.
* Played for laughs in the background of ''[[The X-Files]]''; Scully is portrayed as being a health nut, and will eat things that completely baffle and disgust her partner, Mulder. Including stirring bee pollen into her yogurt, even though Mulder tells her she's a scientist and should know better.
* On ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', one of the biggest reasons Neelex was a [[Lethal Chef]] was his tendency to use Leola root in most of what he served. He claimed it was one of the best sources of vitamins and minerals in the quadrant. Be that as it may, it didn't taste very good at all, only Kes claiming she liked it, and for the record, [[Bizarre Taste in Food|Kes also liked putting dirt in mashed potatoes.]]
