I just finished Jeff Garlin’s book My Footprint and wanted to share one of the funniest moments from the book. His rants sound a lot like mine; he just does it less often and makes them a lot funnier.
My friend Zeke, the one from Pritikin whose name isn’t really Zeke but asked to be called Zeke in this book, turned me on to Chocolate Chip Clif Bars. No, they’re not Snickers bars, but they are loaded with sugar. Yet people think they’re healthy, eating these delicious sugary bars. At least they don’t make outrageous health claims on the wrapper, like, say, Honey Nut Cheerios, which is my kids’ favorite cereal. On the box it says, “May lower cholesterol.” What kind of statement is that? Is that even a statement? “It may. We don’t know. Do you know? Who are you to argue? It may. It could clear your skin. It could. You don’t know.” They should just put on the box, “In the future, this could be money. It could. Who knows?”
