In South Park season 23 episode 4 titled "Let Them Eat Goo," the town is shaken up when they discover a new plant-based meat substitute called "S.H.A.P.E." has been introduced to the school cafeteria. After a taste test, the kids quickly become addicted to the product, but things take a turn when Randy Marsh decides to open up a S.H.A.P.E. burger joint in town and starts using the product to make a variety of other foods, including tacos and burritos.
While the town becomes obsessed with S.H.A.P.E., the boys begin to question what is really in the product. They suspect that it may not be as healthy as it claims to be, and they set out to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, Cartman becomes increasingly paranoid about the food, and he starts to believe that the government is trying to control their minds through the S.H.A.P.E. burgers.
As the episode progresses, the boys' investigation leads them to discover some disturbing truths about the S.H.A.P.E. product. They learn that it contains an ingredient that is actually made from dead cows, which grosses everyone out. However, the boys soon realize that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and that there are much darker secrets lying beneath the surface.
Ultimately, the episode serves as a commentary on the commercialization of health food and the dangers of blindly trusting big corporations. It also explores the theme of addiction and how people are willing to overlook the truth in order to continue consuming something that makes them feel good.

The show continues to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable on TV, but it does so with intelligence and creativity. Fans of the show are sure to enjoy this episode, which delivers on all fronts, from humor to social commentary.
