Stephen Colbert was skeptical last night about Glenn Beck’s advocacy of Food Insurance survival kits, which Colbert said provide “a bag of food to keep around just in case the world comes to an end, but will be all better in a couple of weeks.”

The Food Insurance website advertises that “while your neighbors are struggling to find food, you will be dining on lasagna, beef stroganoff, and a variety of other delicious entrees.” But Colbert was still not convinced: “Even the best food insurance cant truly makes you safe. What if it turns out the virus that wipes out mankind is transmitted via stroganoff?”

So Colbert himself recommended that you buy his “Food Insurance Insurance,” which will “cover any damage to your Food Insurance.” He added: “With Glenn Beck’s Food Insurance and Stephen Colbert’s Food Insurance Insurance, America as we know it will end, but at least Americans as we know it will still be fat.”
