Gore Lives Carbon-Neutral, Fat-Neutral Lifestyle
by Scott Ott

(2007-02-28) — Oscar-winning filmmaker Al Gore today expanded his call 
for Americans to reduce their output of greenhouse gases — the 
so-called carbon-footprint — adding a demand to cut the rate of 
adult-onset obesity, which he termed “your gluteal fatprint.”

Speaking to fellow Oscar winners who flew in to Nashville last night 
for a banquet at his 10,000 square-foot residence, Mr. Gore explained 
that Americans burn too much carbon-rich fuel, and eat too much fatty 
food.

While conservative groups have attacked Mr. Gore’s “hypocrisy” on the 
global-warming issue, since his Tennessee home burns 15 times the 
electricity of the average home and he often flies on corporate jets, 
Mr. Gore maintains that he lives a “carbon-neutral” lifestyle because 
he also invests in solar and wind energy projects to counterbalance his 
own substantial carbon-footprint.

“Many people don’t realize that I also live a fat-neutral lifestyle,” 
Mr. Gore said. “While the inconvenient truth is that I’ve gained a few 
pounds since I beat George Bush at the polls in 2000, I also makes 
large investments in companies that produce bran, sprouts and legumes, 
thereby reducing my “real feel” weight to around 175.”
