Throughout the production, the show strives to make it seem as though Obama and his host are alone in the wild. But in an interview with reporters today, Grylls said there were up to 50 people accompanying the president, from Secret Service to the press team to Obama’s official food taster. He described “snipers in the mountain, the helicopters in the air, and the things you don’t even see†as making him “mega-nervous†during the shoot.
That food taster did not, however, prevent Obama from sharing with Grylls a meal of salmon that had been previously gnawed on by an actual bear along with some tea made from catkins. But while the host probably would have eaten the salmon raw if he were on his own, he decided to put some fire under it for the president.
“I’ve seen some of the stuff Bear eats, and it’s gotta be something that doesn’t still have its legs and eyes on it. I want it not to be too recognizable,†Obama said. “Bear’s a mediocre cook, but the fact that we ate something recognizable was encouraging,†he added. “Now, the fact that he told me this was a leftover fish from a bear, I don’t know if that was necessary. He could have just left that out.â€
One thing the president would not do is drink his own urine. “I suppose, in extremis, it’s something that I would do—if the alternative was death,†he said. “It’s not something I’d make a habit of. And I probably wouldn’t do it just for a TV show.â€

So, like, the obambis and the grylls watched? I’d have busted the tv.
The only thing oslama is happy to do with his pee is rain it down upon Americans and others not of his muslin faith!
Hussein drinks his own Kool-Aide, which is pretty much the same thing.....
He’s probably swollowed plenty of other male secretions in his drug peddler days.
He prefers Reggie’s.
He has a food taster?
Seriously?
If he won’t drink his pee we don’t have to take his sh!t
Like any other imperial potentate.
He’d rather force us to eat his sh*t sandwich.
I( suppose there could be the occasional tough piece of Kobe...
You don’t think he needs one?
No surprise.
The Congress doesn't open its own mail for fear of anthrax (or whatever).
The 'royal taster' just means whoever puts whatever in the chow has to make it something which won't kill the taster right away.
“Shows his human side”
That phrase has always amazed me. Does anyone think they are NOT human?
Too bad they didn’t drop him off in the wilderness and leave him there for a grizzly treat.
IS NO ONE ELSE AMAZED THAT OBAMA HAS A “FOOD TASTER”?????
What’s the pay for that job? is it civil service?
Obama and Putin in the wild, alone. I’d watch that.
Surprised they didn’t share some roadkill Fido to relive Zero’s childhood eats.
