Of Phelps & Flakes

Michael Phelps is getting called on the carpet by the food patrol.

Some “experts” are crying foul at his deal to appear on Frosted Flakes, saying it sends the wrong message.

In fact, I think Phelps is sending the right message. His message is this;

  • “Hey kids, if you get off of your butts and exercise like crazy, you can eat whatever you want, when you want.”

 

Just get off MySpace or Facebook, put down the 360 or Ps3 controller, and move your pudgy butts to the nearest playground, lake, beach or basketball court. Hell, play golf with your grandparents, just get out of your house.

Make some friends outside of the Internet and explore the world around you. I don’t want to hear parents whining about “predators” in the area either, most of them are meeting kids they just chatted with on the Internet.

So get off of Michael Phelps back. He is the antidote to all of the Nutrition Nazism and Food Policing going around today. Our Nation has the most nutrition experts, the largest diet industry and the fattest population.

I think it is time for change.
