"Let Them Eat Goo" is the fourth episode of the twenty-third season of the American animated television series South Park. The 301st episode overall of the series, it premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on October 16, 2019.[1]
In the episode, marijuana farmer Randy Marsh, needing to boost his profits, finds a new use for the discarded portions of his harvests that may raise his profits, campaigning for the town to move toward a plant-based diet; while Cartman sees this as a threat to the food he loves to eat. The episode references the 2007 film There Will Be Blood, and was also seen as a commentary on professional basketball player LeBron James's "wishy-washy statement on the consequences of free speech" in regards to the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests.[2][3]
