Episode 1 is about Gumball and Darwin (mostly Darwin) trying to eat healthily, but they discover it's HARD to do so. Why? Because it's all rigged and every store in town is owned by one person: Mr. Bilderburger. It's a succession of gags showing it's all connected.

The episode starts because Miss Simian tries to show (for the second day) the damage of eating Joyful Burger. Steve Small wears a heart costume and she just punches him while describing symptoms… and obviously Darwin is scared, and Gumballs just hungry.

 They try to beat organic food but it ends up being WAY TOO expansive and all their budget is spent on one avocado. As soon as they leave the market (which is just an extension of the JB store), it just rots. They search the trash to find stuff to grow…

Larry is working in EVERY store in town, that's the gag. When they try to eat a salad, it's just Larry cutting a burger differently. Larry has to destroy food in the trash. When G&D grow their food, he burns it because his boss owns the seeds they planted.

 They end up starving themselves for the whole episode, getting thinner and thinner to the point of anorexia. They ask to see Larry's manager, who thinks they can't get to him unscathed (they did but with black eyes). And yeah, not gonna spoil more but the end is expected
