Quote:I read today that the FBI raided Jered Fogle's house in Indiana today with respect to a child porn investigation.
Or having Indiana football memorabilia. Which would be equally shocking and confusing.
Quote:Hate to kick a man when he's down, but he looks quite doughy for being a spokesman for healthy eating.
He is. But he's well known. I read an article (and saw a pic) on how he got pretty fat not too long ago, but then lost the weight some. The dude needs to get in muscular shape -- it's the Easiest/most-effective path to keeping from fluffing up again once you hit your thin point, post-balloon period -- instead of just diet battling and jogging a couple miles a day. Muscle building burns more fat than mere cardio (a lot more work in cardio req'd to match up).
Quote:Does anybody think he went from 400lbs to 180 eating subs? It's a good story and led to a great gig, but I'm sure he had a gastric bypass or something similar
Yeah, he did. Years ago I picked up this real cute chick from the bar (no lie), and she admitted she had gastric bypass several years prior -- which made sense why a real cute gal would be talking/flirting with an average Joe like me, cause it takes a while for it to sink in that they ARE good looking -- and she went OFF on "Jared" -- as people who'd get gastric bypass are told about how that was the key to him losing weight. From what I heard, he used the "Subway diet" to shed some pounds consistently, and once he was serious, they did gastric bypass, and made it smooth sailing from there.
Quote:Subway: Eat Fresh
Yep!
If the feds raided his place months after that guy -- it Highly Highly Likely isn't because they needed some email documentation About the other guy and what he told Jared, etc. Otherwise, Jared's PR guy would have probably said "The feds being aggressive an uncooperative to Jared, unfortunately ended up going the aggressive route to raid his home in hopes to find mere details about verbal exchanges between the former head of his organization who was arrested, and him. Jared would have been more than happy to provide the feds with what they'd need without this fiasco if they would have been more cooperative and respectful to his rights as a private citizen." Nope, nothing like that.
Likelihood is that Jared himself was involved in child-porn exchanges. Or even worse -- Indiana football memorabilia. Both would be tragic.
All Indy-football kidding aside, in my own personal opinion -- I think it's stupid that one could be arrested for having nude photos of people under 18 on their computer. There's pics of everything from dancing cats to fat people doing gawd-knows-what naked in the kitchen. I think it should be unlawful to be a Distributor or aiding in the distributing of knowingly CHILD nudity/porn. And I assume that's what they Really go after, unless you're a criminal they can't pin for gawd knows what, but if they find a pic or two of naked gals on your computer who they could identify thru research as being under 18 when photos taken. Which is still BS, because a web browser by default saves all pics that pop up on your screen for a good while (cache).
My prediction: Jared was aiding in the distribution of porn amongst colleagues that included some or a lot "clearly" under 18, and the head of his foundation ran with those to show off/distribute to others who reported him.
