Tom Brady has never been one to bite his tongue. He is often seen on the sideline vocalizing his thoughts and feelings to teammate and the coaching staff. Brady is a smart man, he knows what he is talking about. But Brady’s latest comments have nothing to do with football. Brady’s personal dietitian Alex Guerrero has taking a little heat lately as his been called a “glorified snake-oil salesman.” Brady is going to back his guy just like he backs his teammates. Once Brady started talking, he said a few things that won’t please a few well-known companies.
“I disagree with a lot of things that people tell you to do,” Brady said on WEEI. “You’ll probably go out and drink Coca-Cola and think, ‘Oh yeah, that’s no problem.’ Why? Because they pay lots of money for advertisements to think that you should drink Coca-Cola for a living? No, I totally disagree with that. And when people do that, I think that’s quackery. And the fact that they can sell that to kids? I mean, that’s poison for kids. But they keep doing it. And obviously you guys may not have a comment on that because maybe that’s what your belief system is. So you do whatever you want, you live the life you want. . . .
“I think we’ve been lied to by a lot of food companies over the years, by a lot of beverage companies over the years. But we still do it. That’s just America, and that’s what we’ve been conditioned to. We believe that Frosted Flakes is a food. . . . You just keep eating those things, and you keep wondering why we have just incredible rates of disease in our country. No one thinks it has anything to do with what we put in our body.”
I’m not totally agreeing with Brady but I will admit I have always wondered if some of habit we over look causing the increase the rate of diseases? This is something we all sure look more into.
