Breaking News: Anderson Cooper Tries Spinach And Coffee For The First Time

video
» 28 comments

Anderson Cooper has a strong stomach, and a delicate palate. New Orlean’s Ninth Ward, Post-Earthquake Port Au Prince, embattled Tahir Square — he’s got it; faced with a salad, however, and he’s not feeling so brave because, as it turns out, Coop’s kind of a picky eater! On his talk show yesterday he tried for the first time — ever! — coffee, spinach, and then, feeling really brave, a little nibble of brussels sprout. We all have our weaknesses.

Yesterday’s episode was devoted to eating disorders, and so Cooper thought he’d take a stab at his adult pickiness. Presented with a variety of new foods, he opted first to try coffee (“Just seems so water. Yeah, I don’t really understand the point.”), and then spinach (“Okay, that’s gross. It’s also all, like, slithery!”). Feeling encouraged by his female guests, he even tried the brussels sprouts.

“That’s amazing,” they said in awe, as he grimaced through. “Good for you.”

    If I didn’t know from this that he had major food aversions, I would have predicted that he was ‘picky’.   But there is picky and then there is PICKY and he’s got the palate of a six year old which is sort of stunning, given his level of salary and thus the ability to eat really, really well.

    As a mother, my first reaction to this is that this is what happens when you bow to a kid’s pickiness and don’t try to work with it.

    Hope that he continues to let people show him the ropes. Not knowing food is like not knowing how to read.  There is a whole world out there and he’s missing all of it, let alone probably hurting his health in the long run.

    I guess they didn’t serve Coffee and spinach at Club 54 when Anderson was a kid.

    Is “spinach and coffee” some sort of gay euphemism or something?  I’m not up on the new fayg lingo.

    “PALLET?” Oh, Mediaite – who’s editing your posts? The correct word is “palate.”

    And your wrong all claims which are lies Anderson is right Spinach is nasty I have tryed it and was forced to eat it at my dad’s girlends apartment they weren’t married at time. So what that Anderson is a picky eater I’m picky eater and there isn’t anything I’m missing which is another lie not knowing food isn’t like not knowing how to read so your wrong again and you don’t know what your talking about either.

    I’m a picky eater I don’t blame Anderson one bit on not liking Spinach it’s nasty that would be the face I would make when eating spinach I was force to eat at my dad girlfriend they weren’t married at the time when i was a kid. I thought everyone has tryed coffee at least once in there life time.

    It’s not about just spinach, it’s about the implication that he doesn’t eat veggies,etc.

    How old are you, five?
