The $250 An Hour Diet Coach

I bring you here, my friends, a story from the LIFE section of Wednesday’s USA Today. It’s the most amazing story of excess and being spoiled rotten, to the point that it made me say, “You know, it’s no wonder the rich have a bad name.” This LIFE section cover story tells the tale of a guy named David Kirsch who has set up a business wherein he will go out to breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner with a rich client…and supervise them.

Kirsch charges between $150 to $250 an hour to tell these clowns what not to eat so they don’t gain weight. He will go with them and shout, “No! You cannot have the bread! No! You cannot have that item on the menu, and you cannot have that item.” USA Today actually has a picture of this taking place! I held the picture up for Rush 24/7 subscribers to see, and it’s clear as a bell.

The guy is telling his client in this picture, a woman named Lulu Johnson, apparently some kind of actress, what not to eat. Apparently Lulu cannot go out to eat without this guy sitting next to her telling her not to eat the bread. Here’s a quote, “He insists that not only do they avoid bread, they avoid the foie gras.” Now, why does this have to be a story about “the rich” in America? Why can’t it be what it really is about – idiot people, like actors and actresses that are so self-indulgent and helpless that not only can they not speak without a script, they can’t eat without a consultant.
