Goyslop
Goyslop is an antisemitic internet slang term used to describe ultra-processed food, fast food, and other mass-produced consumer products. Conspiracy theorists use it to frame such products as tools used by Jewish elites to keep non-Jews unhealthy and compliant. The term is a compound word joining goy, a Hebrew and Yiddish word for a non-Jew or gentile, and slop, meaning food waste or refuse of low quality. Commentators have described it as an offshoot of an older antisemitic canard holding that Jews promote inferior goods to weaken non-Jewish populations.

Action items
- Read the article's evidence and "investigation" or "reception" sections, and open its cited sources.
- Before sharing anything on this topic, run it through the fact-checkers above.
- Notice when a claim blames a whole group for a secret plot. That's a classic sign of hate propaganda.
- Check resources from the ADL, SPLC or national equality bodies.
- Report hateful content on the platform where you saw it.
- If someone you know believes it, ask what evidence would change their mind, and share one good source, not ten.
Prevention steps
- StopNotice a strong emotion (anger, fear, 'they don't want you to know') before you share. Pause first.
- Investigate the sourceWho is making the claim, what's their expertise, and what do they gain if you believe it?
- Find better coverageRead laterally: open new tabs and see what independent outlets and fact-checkers say.
- Trace claims to the originFind the original study, video or document. Check dates and whether quotes are cut.
- Ask what would change your mindReal theories can be tested. If every piece of counter-evidence 'proves' the cover-up, it can't be.
- Count the peopleBig secret plots need thousands of people to stay silent for years. That rarely happens.
- Talk, don't mockWith friends or family, ask questions, listen, share your own sources calmly. Shame backfires.
