Healthy snacks stink.

Look, we get it. But sometimes they’re better than the alternative.

That’s the argument Stephen Colbert makes with President Barack Obama in a preview for the POTUS’ “Late Show” appearance on Monday.

Since “Late Show” is a network TV show, Colbert explains Obama can’t officially endorse a candidate on-air. Instead, Colbert asks the president which “snack” he’d prefer.

“Would you care for an Extra-Fiber Nutrient Bar, which has traveled to more than 100 countries,” says Colbert, “Or this shriveled tangerine, covered in golden retriever hair, filled with bile, that I wouldn’t leave alone with the woman I love?”

Hmmm. Tough choice.

”I think I’ll go with the fiber nutrient bar,” says Obama.

“Interesting,” replies Colbert.

Interesting indeed. The president clearly doesn’t have love for gross, orange-colored snack options with questionable morals.

With that, the choice is clear, people. As one YouTuber said, “Extra-Fiber Nutrient Bar 2016!!!”

”The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
