WTF, NY times. Jeb Bush's Paleo Diet

[cattledogkisses]

If I never have to hear about the Paleo diet again, I will be a happy person.

I don't care about this just like I didn't care about the HRC chipotle story.

Does this mean he couldn't be the type of President you can sit down and have a beer with?

I know when I'm at the ballot box, the only question I ask myself is, "who drinks the most coconut water?"

Who doesn't?!?!?!?

I guess that was an equally ridiculous story.  I think my hatred for Paleo made this seem worse.  But the HRC Chipotle "story" was everywhere, though. NY Times went of their way to profile his diet.

But some commenters are saying that this shows he will be a good President because willpower, and he is not addicted to sugar, which is like being addicted to cocaine, which obviously you wouldn't want a President to be addicted to.

Yes. If only his brother had laid off the Snickers, he would have has the wherewithal and drive to really accomplish that mission.

NYT has the worst subscription services ever. We gave it a shot and ended up canceling because they couldn't get our stuff right after three phone calls.

FTFY!

This would possibly, maybe be relevant if he had lost over 100 pounds, and made a SUPER noticable change. I know he'd been up and down in his weight, but I hadn't noticed him looking particularly overweight lately or anything.

Penn Jilette, on the other hand? Has lost 105 pounds:

Wouldn't the same people who argue that lady presidents can't be trusted, what with all those hormones, worry about the decision making skills of a hungry, cranky president?

Food for thought. Pun intended.

Really dumb question that I am too lazy to google myself.  What is coconut water?  I know there is coconut milk, did they just rename that since it's not milk?  I wonder this every time I pass it in the grocery store.

This is hilarious.

Coconut water is the runny shit inside a coconut. Coconut milk is extracted from the meat of the coconut.

Coconut water tastes like dirt.

This article made me want chilaquiles and a Margarita. Guess I can't be president

He ordered a pasta dish and then didn't eat the pasta? I refuse to believe there wasn't a more logical option for a Paleo eater. This shows poor judgement and nobody wants that in a president, right? :-P

That confused me too. I'm pretty sure there was a better choice.

Coconut water doesn't taste like dirt to me, but there is a weird flavor to it that I'm not sure how to describe.
