Why bother with the "bite" of coleslaw? :p

I think someone put it on the table, he took a bite of it without thinking, then tossed it aside. It's the only thing that makes sense, unless he intentionally made a joke of it. While possible, he's an NFL player who has taken many hits to the head, so doubtful.

It's not even close to the amount of calories, but then again, he did that ONCE. Try The Rock's DAILY diet:

While training for the Olympics, Michael Phelps has a 12,000 Cal/day diet. Link

Here’s Phelps’s typical menu. (No, he doesn’t choose among these options. He eats them all, according to the Post.)

Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.

Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories.

Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.

Does a diet like this make sense even for a calorie-incinerating human swimming machine? We checked in with Mark Klion, a sports medicine doc and orthopedic surgeon at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. He reminded us that the eating game all comes down to basic math.

If you eat fewer calories than you burn exercising, you lose weight. But an athlete like Phelps, who exercises up a storm, has to worry about eating enough to replenish the scads of calories he’s burned. If he doesn’t, Klion explains, his “body won’t recover, the muscles will not recover, there will not be adequate energy stored for him to compete in his next event.”

What always amazes me is this. If I ate a breakfast of three fried egg sandwiches with all the fixings, a five egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three loaded slices of french toast and three chocolate chip pancakes, I would be able to do nothing but lie on the couch and moan for three hours, let alone train as an Olympic swimmer.

If he's regularly eating this much, his stomach is used to it. Just like one of the biggest hurdles (at least in my opinion) in trying to diet and have better portion control is getting to the point of your stomach shrinking, so you feel full after eating less food. His stomach is expanded, he probably didn't even feel full until he ate that much.

That and I think they were simplifying his diet a little because I'm pretty sure Phelps eats rather more like a Hobbit, with multiple meals throughout the day. Breakfast, second Breakfast, Brunch, Elevenses, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Supper, Midnight snack.

Eating multiple times throughout the day (for normal people, it's smaller meals) increases metabolism, and therefore increases the amount of food you eat, and therefore increases energy. Think: the big holiday dinner, and you need a nap. ;)

What was supposed to be a civics lesson

They got a civics lesson, alright.

Reading between the lines, I'm assuming the white kids voted for white candidates and the black kids didn't vote because they thought it was all BS. Jesus F. Christ -- how could you get a better civics lesson than that?

“While there was some diversity among the 10 winners, no English learners were elected, even though they make up about a third of enrollment,” the Chronicle reported. “African American and Latino students were underrepresented, while white, Asian and mixed-race students, who are in the minority at the school, took the top four spots.”

It looks like the immigrants didn't vote because the winners were all native English speakers. They probably couldn't read the ballot. :D

I do like the audio of that scene.

Kid -- Hey ladies
Girls -- ******* you!
