Mayor Rob Ford lies about his diet, goes to KFC

“If these are the keys to successfully shedding extra weight, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and city councillor Doug Ford are off to a good start.

The brothers have made public their intention to slim down, revealing they’re launching a weight-loss challenge next week, and will set up giant scales at the mayor’s office for periodic weigh-ins, according to NewsTalk 1010.

Rob has two young kids and I have four girls. We want to be around to watch them get married and be grandparents. If you’re carrying this extra weight...it’s not healthy. And we know that,” Coun. Ford told the radio station.

NewsTalk 1010 said the duo plan to partner with one or more charities for their challenge, and give pledges and donations to those causes, although they have yet to decide which ones.

I think the arrogance of some people is ridiculous. The hell do people care if he's overweight? It's a childish and sad attempt to invalidate is mayorship. Right from the get-go, this became an issue. Small minded folks.

He is hilarious. I kinda like him. I don't think we've ever had such a funny mayor.

I am very disappointed. I thought Canadian politics/media was cleaner than this.

It has nothing to do with the fact he is overweight, as strange as that sounds (to the media that is)

The only thing I found funny was A) the woman laughing hysterically and B) How the media is trying to spin this. "If he can't follow a personal diet that he said he would do, how can we trust him with the promises he made for the city?"

It's sad but funny at the same time.

It is sad. In any case,this dude wasnt gonna last long.

Rob Ford is a bigot. He said people who drive bikes on the road and get run over deserved it. He said "Orientals work like dogs". On second thought, I agree with the way the media is treating him. He deserves it.

He will be defeated.

[Tuushi]

Most of them are bigots. The only difference made is the grooming done before. Rob has useless or team. No one filters his bs.

Cyclists are generally a-holes who don't yield to traffic laws.

I remember in 2006 when a Somali hoyoo was running against him in Etobicoke. How can people vote for this baffoon
