Gordo Chavez: 'I'm Lovin' It'

CHAVEZ'S STEROID; MULTIPLE BIG MACS

Why can't we teach our kids that good ol' fashioned hard work will equal success? Knuckleheads like Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds have been knocked down several notches for their cheating ways with performance-enhancing drugs.

Now, we have Eric Chavez attributing his uncommonly fast start this April to heavy helpings of gut grenades and super-sized fast food.

If eating double cheeseburgers and large fries made kids hit a baseball better, then fatties all over the nation would be looking like the second comings (helpings) of Kirby Puckett and our national team would have won the World Baseball Classic instead of the low-fat eating Japanese.

It sounds harmless that Chavez would freely chirp about his success after binging on unhealthy food in the off-season, but it makes little sense to extrapolate such a conclusion. What he isn't saying is that he ate a high fat and protein diet while working out extra hard, thereby building more muscle.

Chavez has never been known to say the smart thing in public and his comments may be the within the party atmosphere of the Oakland clubhouse, but the cuteness of the tale is forgotten when so many young children are unhealthy at near epidemic proportions in America.
