I just lifted this from the above article:
Wearing a shirt that read “Kale is the new beef,” referring to a form of cabbage, Fuhrman pulled up a sleeve and flexed his bicep, then lifted the shirt to show his lean abs.
I'm just wondering if this was before or after he humiliated that poor man who had the temerity to ask hine a question in front of a couple of hundred people - he sounds like such a pleasant fellow!

I just thought the whole thing was in bad taste and I am glad John Mackey correctly pointed out that the comment was inappropriate. Dr F did apologize but did so while laughing. It seemed disingenuous.
To be fair to Dr F, when Scott then informed everyone of his 100 pound weight loss so far (which was greeted with applause) Dr F did reply with "Really, wow. Keep going in the right direction." That seemed sincere. Then he went on about how "that type of attitude is a person looking for excuses" and how traveling is just another excuse for people wishing to further their addictions which IMO kind of veered from the original question which was eating McD vs Dr F while on the road.
(Dr F, when he got around to answering the original question, said he goes straight to whole foods and prepares food for himself while traveling, demonstrating that Scott was correct in saying that its easier to eat McD-style on the road.)
Jim, Scott didn't ask Dr F for his opinion on his weight; he asked a general, practical question about how to eat when traveling, and since it was a debate, to compare the accessibility of starches in restaurants vs the foods Dr F recommends. He didn't ask to be interrupted with a snarky remark about his personal appearance!
I can't imagine Dr McD going to a Fuhrman event and speaking to any of the audience members that way.
On a side note, I thought Scott handled himself really well in that situation and I am rooting for him to become a future star mcdougaller!!!

That's exactly how I operate, Jim-- a little wisdom from one and some from the other.
