NPR: Road Life: Glamor, Glitz, A Lifetime On The Hips

Road Life: Glamor, Glitz, A Lifetime On The Hips

For those of you who enjoy the occasional peek behind the curtain: Time's Karen Tumulty takes us through a typical day of campaign journo dining. Faced with a regimented schedule that leaves little room for exercise, plus a seemingly endless supply of bacon and cookies, is it any wonder reporters have been known to put on as much as 40 lbs over the course of a campaign? Just reading this makes us want a nice, crisp salad. Or maybe some Alka-Seltzer.
