FDA Official On Onion News Network: 'Just Eat A Goddamn Vegetable'

In this short clip from the new Onion News Network show on IFC, (fake) Deputy FDA Commissioner Steve Hoyer instructs Americans to "just eat a goddamn vegetable every once in a while": "You just buy a bag of f*cking carrots and you eat them the way you'd normally eat a package of hot dogs, okay?"

Oh only if the real politicans talked this way. We would know where everyone was coming from.

But the atkins diet tells me carrots are bad and hot dogs are good!

The Onion News Network is hilarious. I especially loved the stories about the White girl being charged as a Black man in Detroit and the poll that said Democrats would vote for Sarah Palin for President in 2012 out of "morbid curiosity". :)

Wish the real FDA would say that! But they won't, because the vegetable farmers don't have the resources to buy the FDA the way the meat and dairy industries have.

Is this guy part of the Obama scheme to deprive us of dessert?

I am trying to eat healthier, and I am also trying to get the dog to eat healthier. She likes carrots and grapes, too.

Grapes are a danger for a dog to eat. My dog spent the night in the Vet office and X-rays only to find out that it was from eating grapes. The Vet said that really are not good for any dog. Expensive lesson.

Grapes and chocolate are a no no for dogs.

Carrots are great for dogs, but not so much grapes. Check with your vet.

Thank you so much! I did not know this. No more grapes for her!
