"As you are well aware, the epidemic of childhood obesity is worsening day by day, leading to higher risks of diabetes, heart disease and several forms of cancer," the actor wrote Monday in a personal letter to Clinton and each of her fellow senators. "I know that you share my concern about this crucial issue."

Hmmm...does that include feeding his daughter hog slop, considering that he thinks she's a "fat little pig."

He better just shut up and worry about his own obesity...

What a hypocrite!

Excessive alcohol consumption can make you puff up too Alec. Makes you leave nasty messages and smack photographers and wives too.

Didn’t Alec promise to leave the country if Bush were elected and stay out. You just can’t count on the promises of liberals!

Someone please clear this up. Either we have a nation of starving children because Republicans cut the school lunch program or we have a nation of obese children because Republicans subsidize farmers. Which is it?
