"Kreation Organic with Jackie Johnson" is Episode 326 of *Doughboys*, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "Kreation Organic with Jackie Johnson" was released on November 11, 2021.

## Synopsis

## Nick's intro

"*How old am I? I am ageless.*"

This hubristic quote was uttered late in life by Norman W. Walker, a health-food advocate who invented the mechanical juicer.

While juice itself dates to Biblical times, the modern Western association of juice consumption with good health traces to Walker's automated juicing apparatus (first patented in 1936). That same year, a strong man and nutrition advocate named Jack LaLanne opened what is thought to be America's first modern gym in Oakland, CA.

Decades before the existence of Instagram fitness models, or even Arnold Schwarzenegger, LaLanne's was American's original fitness celebrity, performing Herculean feats like swimming to Alcatraz to evangelize the value of working out and eating right - a nutrition regimen that included fresh juice. LaLanne even sold his own branded juicers via infomercials airing in heavy rotation.

By the 21st century, juice had become fully entrenched into the wellness scene, even surviving the sugar-averse low-carb craze. In 2007, Marjan Sarshar opened a café serving healthful Persian and Mediterranean dishes in the tory Montana Avenue shopping district of Santa Monica, CA. By 2011, Sarshar had expanded to open a spin-off juicery, which in short order became the brand's main attraction, and the chain spread across the health-conscious greater-LA area over the course of the decade.

Today, the company has nineteen SoCal stores and a roster of high-roller regulars; it's four-dollar signed smoothies feature frequently in the feeds of Instagram influencers. And while there's no clear evidence that juice consumption will render one ageless, as juicer inventor Walker bragged, the proof is in the smoothie: LaLanne lived until age 96, and Walker himself, until 99.

## Quotes

**Mitch**: They pulled those signs when I walked in. It was like an old Western. They pulled those signs 'cause they saw me walking up.

## The Feedbag

Would you do the same thing in my situation? If not, where do you draw the line in regards to car-floor foods and the 10-second rule.
