Stephen Colbert On How Starbucks Food Dye Bugs Vegetarians (Video)

So all the vegetarians and vegans were enjoying what they thought were veg-friendly Frappacinos made with soy milk. But now news has surfaced that the Strawberries and Cream Frappucinos and Strawberry Smoothies they consumed were made to look pink with cochineal extract, a dye made from female cochineal insects.
Yummy.
Stephen Colbert poked fun of the fact Starbucks justified the use of this product by saying it wanted to get away from artificial ingredients. Colbert may be a slow-food activist after all, as he suggests people just trying grinding up a good old fruit with the same color in soy milk.
An actual fruit.
Fresh. Unprocessed. More nutrients. Zero bugs. Maybe Colbert is onto something.
