Is The Morning Call's Bill White Really a Glutton?

The Morning Call's Bill White
Every year, The Morning Call forces columnist Bill White to eat his way through Musikfest. And every year, somebody calls him a glutton when it's all over.

It certainly reads like he really puts it away. But did he really? This year, I decided to pay attention to what he actually was eating, and determine how many calories he consumed, using Daily Burn. That site has an inventory of just about every food imaginable. When somethng is not clear, I erred on the side of gluttony.

Adding everything up, Bill's eating adventure this year amounts to a scant 4,997 calories. The average American consumes nearly 4,000 calories per day. I consume that at breakfast. The average Thanksgiving meal, all by itself, is somewhere between 3,000 and 4,500 calories.

So as gluttons go, Bill is a model of moderation.

    4000 calories? Wow. I estimate I eat between 1500 and 2000 a day. No wonder there are so many sickening, immense people walking -er, scootering - around.

    Your diet would be considered very healthy. As one of those sickening people, I commend you and hope I can do better.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
