Funny Or Die, which is quickly becoming the home for celebrity activism through humor, has posted another video that at first seems a big weird. Why is Parks and Recreation star and manly man Nick Offerman telling you that it is healthy for your children to eat pizza and corn dogs?
Offerman, playing food expert Daniel Frances, shows off the Pizza Farm in the video, where all the delicious (we really mean “disgusting and unhealthy”) foods that children are served in school are grown.
“Listen if it’s on a plant, it’s good for you. Who cares how it got there,” Offerman says. “French fries are practically salad, which is why I like mine with ranch.”
In reality, this is a video meant to make people aware that Congress needs to reauthorize the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was passed to ensure that children are served better food in schools. The American Heart Association sponsored the video, which you can see below.
