Food Politics will mourn the passing of the Colbert Report.
What, you might ask, did the Colbert Report have to do with Food Politics?
Plenty.
For one thing, I was lucky (well, nonplussed) to appear on the show in August 2009.
The topic? Sugar trade policy.
Oh. Of course.
I explained what this was about in a blog post.
Better, Colbert did occasional pieces: Thought for Food.
Eater has collected them all in one place (thanks to Eleanor Talbot West for sending).
