Stephen Colbert's "solution" to our economic woes: more consumption, specifically food.
Colbert notes that our obesity levels have hit a plateau.
While there is humor built in, there is truth as Colbert mentions Nixon farm subsidies and huge corn producers. Humor hides the sad reality of our farm program for the last 40 years.
That information, and a few rants against high-fructose corn syrup, makes for a nice video.
