Wow. That's just very sad. I second, third and forth the motion that he very OBVIOUSLY has major body issues. He's no svelt young man himself. To me it just screams that he's not as intellegent as he comes off, he's just a face, a "personality", and there are tons of people behind him, writing, researching, doing the work that he takes credit and wins awards for. To think he's won awards for food education. Don't we want our children to learn acceptance?

That's an excellent point. He may be an excellent food educator, but he has this massive blind spot and it seems like his people, whoever they may be, need to keep him muzzled when it comes to obesity.

What troubles me is that he's got a young daughter. If her genetics mean that (like Alton) she tends towards extra weight, is he going to be as harsh to her as he is to himself?
