What is the response to this ridiculous demagogy?
Poke around in-depth discussions by great art critics about the qualities of a particular film or a silly, unknown painting. About sports commentators who engage in sophisticated soccer moves (should he dribble with his left or right foot), about the question of whether a certain person condemned an unknown person or whether he just wants to inherit his position and his words were taken out of context, etc. This is what sustains most of the public debate and media today, and for consumers of this garbage to descend on halachic discussions about the blessing of the Karmbo is truly the height of all-time highs. These are probably qualities that only serious students understand.

I don't know if he personally consumes the junk. In any case, maybe we can respond to him in a matter-of-fact way, especially since he is considered an expert in the world of investors, etc., and that could spark interest.

This has nothing to do with the question of whether he himself is a consumer of junk. When criticism comes from a secular to a religious direction, it assumes a comparison between the companies. When asked which company deals with less important things, it seems to me that the main criticism should be directed at his fellow consumers of “Big Brother”, “Survivor” and ”Master Chef”.

Hey, Master Chef. There's a limit. 🙂

If you admit that Halacha is entertainment on the level of Big Brother, then everything is fine. What is the difference between Big Brother and other types of entertainment (food, sports, music)? Not everyone is constantly engaged in theoretical science. But engaging with abysmally serious Halacha nonsense, whether it is permissible or not to do work on Shabbat, whether it is permissible or not to eat on Yom Kippur, is simply a funny business. Crazy! People engage in nonsense lightly in order to be entertained.

There is a difference between the different programs for the blessing of the kerambo:

According to the ‘Big Brother’ the main part of the kerambo is the cream, which is the largest part; on the other hand, according to ‘Survival’ the biscuit is the main part, by which the cream can survive and stand safely. And according to the ’Master Chef’ – one should ask the manufacturer what he considers the main part, and it seems that according to the manufacturer the cream is the main part, since it is called ‘kerambo’.
