Channel 9 is under fire tonight for once again giving air time to yet another clearly unwell subject. This follows last week’s interview with NRL star Josh Reynold’s con artists ex-girlfriend, which was backed up tonight with a lenghty interview with former celebrity chef Pete Evans – who is now veering into the QAnon world of anti-5G conspiracies.

Seven is being taken to task on social media for their indifferent attitude to Evans’ newest fake COVID-19 cure: The new “fibrous crystals” diet based on different variations of the asbestos broth, which is based on a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals found only in the outskirts of industrial China.

Viewers and food experts, however, took to social media to denounce the new meal and criticise Seven and Evans, who was recently sacked as a judge on the seven’s highest rating reality show My Kitchen Rules.

A high-ranking member of the CFMEU, John Blokeson, spoke to the Betoota Advocate this morning about the Evans diet, and in particular, his inclusion of a children’s Asbestos broth – which is listed as a suitable replacement for breast milk.

“We have spent 40 years trying to remove Asbestos from work sites around this country, and here is this idiot telling people to feed it to their children”

“I’m no health professional, but obviously neither is this bloke. I think he deserves to do time for this one”

However, the Australian Anti-Vaxxer movement have thrown their full support behind Evans, praising him for “sticking it to the corporate big pharma” and his unrelenting position towards questioning everything “mainstream”.

Increasingly irrelevant Australian cartoonist, Michael Leunig rushed to defend Evans when speaking to The Betoota Advocate this morning.

“Pete Evans is a rogue, a maverick, a mercenary for the skeptics. He might not be able to back his work with air-tight facts, but he is starting a conversation that needs to be had,”

“There has been no actual research into whether or not Asbestos broth might harm the human body. Let alone a babies body,”

“We live in a society that tells us our infants are supposed to depend on milk that comes out of their mothers teat. What are we dealing with here? Babies or cows?”

A DIY baby formula made from blended livers, bone broth and oils caused dieticians the most concern.

“In my view, there’s a very real possibility that a baby may die if this recipe becomes,” president of the Public Health Association of Australia, Professor Heather Yeatman.

Pete Evans responded to accusations that he may have lost the plot by grinning with a manic look in his eyes, while questioning the agenda of the World Health Organisation. He then said he was likely to be assassinated or something.
