“Jack LaLanne, was 90 yesterday, September, 26!! "LaLanne was addicted to sugar as a child, causing him to commit acts of violence, including setting his parents' house on fire and attacking his brother with an ax. He was so weak his family physician recommended he be removed from school to rest and regain his strength. Around this time, he and his mother attended a lecture by Paul C. Bragg, a nutritionist who told LaLanne he was a human garbage can. LaLanne turned his life around with a strict diet and exercise. By the age of 18, he was running a home bakery selling healthy breads, and a home gym where he trained policemen and firemen in exercise and weightlifting. LaLanne's reputation as a physical fitness guru eventually led to his 20-year stint as the host of TV's _"Jack LaLanne Show, The" (1963)_ . There he taught exercise aimed principally at homemakers, using items found around the home. Even as he exceeds 80 years of age, LaLanne continues to boast a fine physique and encourage fans with health and fitness tips through videos and writing."” 1:56:53 PM 9/27/04 “All those donut-addicted cops should listen to Jack.” 2:02:38 PM 9/27/04 “But donuts taste so good.” 2:03:25 PM 9/27/04 “Jack wanted to celebrate his 90th by swimming from Catalina Island to to mainland. His wife talked him out of it. Now, is this guy _____-whipped or what?” 2:10:41 PM 9/27/04 “speaking of donut-addicted cops, where's StickmanWalking been?” 2:15:31 PM 9/27/04
