This is a subject Rush should stay away from. He sounds very ignorant and ill informed concerning health and nutrition.

Yep.

Rush's idea of “healthy” eating habits is a triple cheeseburger, with supersized fries, three apple pies, two chocolate shakes, four slices of pizza, four hot-dogs with all the trimmings, a bowl of ice cream, and a diet coke.

I don’t agree, diet and nutrition have become politicized, just like every other part of our daily lives. I think that most of it started with PETA and their campaign against swordfish. It took off from there. If you look carefully at almost every major scare campaign that is related to food, nutrition, chemicals, additives, etc, you will find a PETA link in the research.

The latest PETA campaign was the plastic softener scare. There is absolutely no proof that the plastic softeners were harmful, but they managed to get them removed from products and banned in some states.

If Rush applied conservative principles to eating habits and exercise, he'd never have to go on diets. He actually believes the myth that there are "people who can eat anything they want and not get fat." I've got brothers who are identical twins -- genetic clones -- who've proven to me what a myth that is. One of them Rush would certainly classify as "can eat all he wants and not get fat," and the other got pretty buttered up by eating what Rush would probably consider "normal" food, but which in fact is typically overloaded with carbs and starches.

It's a great way to make himself believe that it's not really his fault that he's got a weight problem!! *sigh*

Fat people are experts on diets. They're just NOT experts on being trim and physically fit. What a paradox!
