In the past several years he made public service announcements for the American Cancer Society.

My opinion: The "Marlboro Man" was a "real man"; he lived like a man and died like a man. What we need is more "real men" to step forward and teach the important lessons of life. We need the following:

1. Alcoholic Man
2. Red Meat & Processed Meats Man

3. Chip & Dip Man


4. Pizza Man

5. Soda & Ice Cream Man

6. Baked Desserts Man
Yes .... and I'd add "Refined Carbohydrates Man" ... especially after you read the book "Glycemic Load Diet"
