I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up to Sizes? Team? You're listening to The Daily Game, a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I grew up before there was a thing called health food. We either had food or we didn't. It's very interesting right now. You got all these food snobs, you know, and they'll tell me, you know, you got

to shop at Whole Foods. You gotta do this, you gotta do that, you gotta get a ten dollars orange. When I was growing up, there was no such thing as health food. You were just your parents either had food or they didn't have food, and you ate what your mother put on that plate, and you enjoyed it because we all heard the stories about the poor kids in Africa that didn't have anything to eat. The only thing that was bad by my upbringing was I was

taught to clean the plate. Well. As an older man growing up trying to stay in shape, I had to learn that sometimes you don't need to clean the plate. Take some for leftovers and eat it later. That'll help if you're trying to stay thin and the waist handsome in the face. You know, sometimes you don't need to clean that plate. Take it, save it for later. But I'm not really concerned with other people put in their mouth. And when I'm eating, people want to come around, Oh,

you're gonna eat that? You know, I'm a vegan, or I don't eat this, or I don't eat that. That's your motherfucking business. You know. There's a joke they say, how do you know someone's a vegan? They'll tell you, you know. So I believe food is a choice. Music is a choice. Religion is a choice. It shouldn't be challenged. What you put into your body is what you choose to put into your body. Now, there's health reasons you shouldn't eat certain things. I get that, and I'm watching

the show on TV. Six hundred pound people usually they have somebody who enables them to eat that much. And that's a condition, you know. And I can't really speak on that because I don't really know enough about that condition. But one thing I do know is that everything in moderation has worked for me. You know, I can't really speak on what will work for you. But for me, at my age, I'm healthy. I have low cholesterol. I bench press two fifty three hundred. I'm still touring doing shows,

you know, sometimes two three shows a month. I'm getting up. I'm knocking out twelve hour days on law and Order. So what I'm eating, If I drink a little kool aid, or I eat a taco or I do something like that, I don't need no motherfucker telling me, oh, this is unhealthy. Most of the people that are trying to tell me what I eat is unhealthy are like thirty years old. How the fuck you could tell a sixty year old motherfucker that he's eating something unhealthy when you ain't even live

thirty more. Wait thirty years and tell me. I'm on my shit right now. I'm here to tell you that everyone's body is different, and if you need a certain food intake for your body, then so be it. But putting that on other people that didn't ask for it, that's bullshit. I don't want to hear it. I'm not interested. I eat some cereal, you know, I might eat my cheerios or whatever. You know, I'm eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you know, and people will come up

to you and question your diet. I don't know. I think it's just being a food snap. I think they just do that to try to tell you that they eat better food, or there's something special or whatever. But a lot of people that try to tell me I'm in better shape than them, I'm physically in better shaped in them, and I'm thirty years older than them. So do what works for you. I always told people if

I didn't eat cocos tacos, I'd be mentally ill. I'd have mental problems, you know, I wouldn't be happy, you know. But if you want to know my diet, it's moderation and movement, the two ms. I don't eat a lot of anything. I don't eat a lot of you know. I eat steak, but I don't eat every damn night. You know. I eat sugar. But I don't overdo it. I don't overdo everything. Things in moderation and keep it moving. That's the iced tea diet, all right. And if you're

younger than me, pay a fucking tention. This has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.
