maybe just not the right people to solve the problem. take it for what it is. - Leonid Kozhukh

reeeeeeeeeeeeDICULOUS. I guess fixing hunger makes ya hungry. - Brian Carter

freaking hypocrites. - Chris Cavs

Did anyone stand up and walk out in protest? - Chad Myers

Did not a single soul anywhere in PR have an inkling of how irresistible this would be to headline writers around the world? - Tom Harrison

On the other hand, maybe these people are experts at eating, they really know how to get the good food. Maybe they are the best people to help others get the good food too. :D - Andrew Baron

You all sound like hypocrites to me. I guess you all starve yourself every day in protest of world hunger and the global food crisis. Would it have made any difference if they had Big Mac's and fries? This whole thread is a joke. At least they were discussing how to solve the global food crisis. All you all are doing is having this pathetic discussion. - Michael Tefft

I didn't have an 18 course meal to discuss world hunger. - Chris Cavs

Michael, not only is the irony irresistible- it might be argued that this demonstrates a lack of compassion... not they'd think better while fasting about it, because the brain needs sugar, but politicians in particular should know better about PR backlash and how it works. - Brian Carter

@Michael: Somehow I don't think they were actually discussing the global food crisis. And, for the record, I'm willing to be that most of us in this thread donate food and money to food banks and charities that get food to Africa, SE Asia, etc. Nice try at a tu quoque, but it didn't work. - Chad Myers

I know it's time. That's the greatest embarrassment of my life you little prick. The rematch will happen at the end of the summer. - loren feldman

I learned the hard way in March how important this is. (unstable angina 8 days after my 40th b-day. 3 stents placed.) - Adam Turetzky

Quitting smoking will give you the greatest improvement in health/fitness! I quit in September, and haven't looked back. Best decision I've ever made. Ran a half-marathon yesterday like it was nothing! - Granteezy

Dude, I started on a regimen. Running/walking. Going long. You're already in good shape...but cool to get ripped up. That's the best. - Frank Roche

Definitely quit smoking dude. - Rob Safuto

Same situation for most people here I guess. - fbrunel

Like Frank said. However, I suspect you're all-or-nothing and you'll do it when you're good and ready. - Donna Mugavero

I'm going to. When I was an actor it was a requirement to be ripped. Since I always get the gig now I've really let myself go. I used to be a real ass kicker would run with the brothers all day, now a chubby 5'7 greek geek kicked my ass. I wanted to literally die in his driveway from shame. - loren feldman

You know the shape I'm in. Oi! - Dennis Howlett via twhirl

Howlett its amazing you are even alive. - loren feldman

Keep your head up! I used to smoke, booze, eat all kinds of nasty fast-food etc... Then I decided I wanted to be a better athlete, and I dropped over 40 lbs, quit smoking, drinking, and it wasn't that difficult either. You can do it dude! - Granteezy

I have a client whose son lost over 30 lbs in a month JUST cutting out soda. I used to run too, now I can barely run 2 miles. I'm changing that. - Andrew Jecklin

Some months ago I went to a training Boot Camp religiously and had a better cardio profile than I had in years. This thread is kicking my ass to get back to that. - Donna Mugavero

I want my six pack back. - loren feldman

Ouch... same here - 30 lbs baby... sucks don't it?! .. getting old...dang! - Susan Beebe

just do it. everyone that can relates or leaves a positive comment should be held responsible for giving you a hard time if you dont. part of a public lifestyle. - Leonid Kozhukh

I'm trying to convince @frankroche to do the Philly Distance Run with me. I think setting reasonable, concrete fitness goals is just the thing to motivate yourself. - J T. Ramsay

Fixed photo permissions. I'm usually shy sorry. - loren feldman

Same here. Let's have a race to fitness to see who claims victory over the summer :P - Andru Edwards

Yeah, I'm looking back at my SXSW photos and feeling the same way. Fat. I'll just have to return triumphant. Maybe there could be a SXSW Biggest Loser award? - qthrul

Let's form the Blog Olympics. How fucking funny would it be watching bloggers do Olympic events. - loren feldman

Quitting smoking was best decision I made. I'm 7 months smoke free now. Now if you want to talk about my FF addiction. Whole different topic. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I'm all for the Blog Olympics idea. I can't pull 20,000+ Twitter subscribers, but I bet I can beat most of you in a race. - Shawn Farner

I would also quit smoking if nicotine wasn't such a fucking good drug - Nik Cubrilovic

Drinking adds tons of calories. It also makes you have sex w/strangers. Best to cut down on that. - patricia hannigan

the blogger olympics would be very similar to the stoned olympics: http://xrl.us/stonedolympics - Nik Cubrilovic

Hahah, awesome picture, Loren. Love the outfit. http://flickr.com/photos/loren... A "pics of you when you were young" meme would be great. It'd be a blast to see some of the major figures in the tech world when they were young. - Vincent X

Patricia, I don't drink that much. I also dont fuck strangers. You wanna go on my friends Yacht with me and Michelle get to know each other a bit? - loren feldman

Nik - Exactly. - loren feldman

@allen yeah, for a minute there i'd thought we'd opened up a VB PR arm, but i checked and it turns out we didn't. - Eric Eldon

@sean you might not think it from some of my tweets and friendfeed comments, but i do try to temper myself with a modicum of respect for those i disagree with :) - Eric Eldon

Ask them about the facts so you can update the news article. - Igor The Troll

@igor that's what i've already done. also, we had checked the news out enough that i'm not sure we got anything wrong. we shall see. - Eric Eldon

Eric, let us know how it goes, and if need to we can get other Bloggers behind this issue. This sounds like Cyber Bullying of a blogger by a company. It happens often now days. - Igor The Troll
