Last night, over a can of high fructose corn syrup laden Sierra Mist, Stephen Colbert went after Michael Pollan, the whole food/slow food/no processed food movement guy and author of the books, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto and The Omnivore's Dilemma.
In addition to being a downer (and, perhaps, unpatriotic) about American cheese, Pollan also goes after millions of babies' first taste of fake: forrrrrrrrrmula!
Pollan, having not read the impetus for this argument, then claims that breastfed babies are better than formula fed ones. So the always quick Colbert asks Pollan whether he was breastfed.
Interestingly, he doesn't know. But!
Luckily, Pollan's mom was in the audience.
Disappointingly (underminingly, and, considering his age, could-have-guessed-ingly), she said he wasn't!
No wonder he also buys Fruity Pebbles.
