I thought it was weaker too. In part because he was more on the jokey side, and because I think he could've started a more serious movement towards better food labeling and lobbying, like he did with the FCC. The Halloween costume was hilarious though.

But I found it mainly less interesting because I've heard the points before in this fantastic article on addictive food and because I listened to this great podcast on food addiction, like, yesterday.

Yeah, it wasn't groundbreaking or all that interesting really. I assumed more people already knew about this, although I could be wrong, I suppose.

I'm surprised he hasn't talked about the case of the missing students in Mexico. That shit is cause for outrage.
