Food Satire

For my blog post, I decided to find a clip on food satire. I ended up choosing a clip from the show, The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. During this clip, Stephen Colbert brings up the topic on how wheat is said to just as addictive as crack. Colbert proceeds to poke fun at this news cast and introduces a new mascot to help inform children of the dangers of eating wheat, McGnaw the gluten-free Beaver. The two then proceed to act like wheat is an actual drug and talk about what a child should do if they are offered wheat and other things along that line. 

I found that this clip was pretty funny. Its clear that Colbert is making fun of those news casters and how they feel that eating wheat is just as addictive as drugs like crack cocaine. When Colbert names off street names for different types of bread it is a clear shot at at how he feels that these people that think that wheat is addictive are just idiotic and shouldn't be taken seriously.
