Good News, Stephen Colbert: Unfrosted Pop-Tarts Are Vegan
Last week, while interviewing vegan actor Woody Harrelson during The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Stephen Colbert announced that after losing a bet with a friend, he’s going vegan for 17 days.
The comedian expressed concern to Harrelson that he wouldn’t get enough protein, asking the War for the Planet of the Apes actor, “How am I going to survive as a vegan?” Harrelson explained that apes—among the strongest animals in the world—are vegetarian, assuring the talk-show host that he’ll “live large” as a vegan.
After Harrelson suggested delicious fruits and veggies, Colbert asked about Pop-Tarts, saying, “I don’t think there’s any meat in a Pop-Tart.” Harrelson reminded the host that if he’s going vegan, he needs to exclude dairy “products” from his diet as well. Luckily for Colbert, Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts—without icing—are vegan.
We hope Colbert realizes during his 17 days of vegan eating just how easy it is to eat plant-based foods all the time. PETA even offers several resources for those who are making the switch, including our three simple steps to going vegan, and free vegan starter kits.
