I know I'll get some flak for bringing this subject up, but my wife and I was listening to the radio yesterday while in the car and the conversation was getting real wild.
I personally would have picked someone to lead by example. Obesity is a major problem in USA and it costs Americans billions of dollars in health care costs.
Ever been in a hospital for any length of time? Have you noticed the number of health care providers are over weight? Been there, seen that.
