Ever heard of the freshman 15? Nowadays, some people who are unhappy with the current political environment are complaining of the “Trump 10.”
We first heard this term from actress Jane Krakowski, who recently told late night TV host Stephen Colbert, “Now that I’ve put on my Trump 10, I’ve got to work out a little.” When Colbert said he hadn’t heard of the term, she replied, “You know — like the freshman 15,” referring to the weight gain typical during the first year of college.
She’s not the only one. Similar complaints of politically induced stress eating have come from megastar Barbra Streisand and director Judd Apatow, who told The New York Times, “I’m trying so hard to have it not turn into 30 pounds.”
So is there anything to this? I put the question to Janice Kiecolt-Glaser of the Ohio State University. She studies how stress can influence our bodies — and our eating. …

Munching on carpet adds pounds???
Doesn’t affect Michael Moore much. 10 additional pounds to him is like the weight gain the average person gets by putting an M&M in their pocket.
i’m sure whiny gay colbert worries about the pounds. Fruitloop
I gained weight out of joy :)
This is funny....
Sheesh, they really need to get a life.
Lordy! Next they’ll be calling Mo asking for an approved diet plan!
I wonder if NPR ever did a story like this on Hillary or Mooooochelle?
Wanna lose 40 pounds of ugly fat?

They should just start the Michelle School Lunch program and those pounds will fall off.

Sure fire way to loose 13 pounds in just under 3 weeks? Blow out 3 disks in your back and start munching Vicodin like they are M&Ms. Pain musta let up a little, I just ate half a box of Frooty Loops and Frosted Mini Wheats.
Semi-conscious may have been better. Morning will tell. Trump is still President, right?!!
"The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa. Feminism, deconstruction, and gender theory are not just academic abstractions up for discussion among liberal academics: They are articles of their religious creed. Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.
"You wonder why the left is having a nervous breakdown in the wake of Trump's election? It is because, for them, politics is the means to secular salvation. This means that, to them, political failure is not just a setback on the road to a more stable society—it is a blow to their very worldview. Opposition to their program is not just wrong-headed, but evil."
I keep this in mind whenever I read about some dopey histrionics. These people would probably die from stress and shock if something actually bad came to pass.
Today’s “stressful politics” are entirely a Democrat creation.
Started with Saul Alinsky 45 years ago, and has culminated in our largest party being filled with people who are stark, raving nuts.
Being unable to disagree civilly is extremely stressful.
Ha ha! I lost my Obama ten back in February!
Boo hoo...let’s impeach Trump, reason libs are putting on pounds. I didn’t know weight gain is the President problem....
