Crosscut has a fun piece on the mayoral candidates’ dietary habits. Mike McGinn confesses to being “born to eat,” but keeps his overindulgence to healthy-ish fare like pasta salad and eggplant grinders. His vegetable garden has, unfortunately, gone to shit during the campaign, and if you’d like to make a pro-bono donation and tend to it for him, that’s something he’d greatly appreciate.Meanwhile, Joe Mallahan has developed a nasty addiction to chocolate bunny crackers and is fighting the “campaign 15” by running each morning. As someone who put on the “campaign 30” through a diet of fried chicken, red licorice, and Miller forties during a seven-month stint as Maria Cantwell’s deputy press secretary, I know it to be so, Joe. How’d I lose that weight (some of it, anyway)? By contracting pneumonia shortly after the campaign ended. I wouldn’t recommend that diet, but it sure works.
