Veteran football announcer Al Michaels is nearing 80, and he swears he’s never knowingly consumed a particular type of food branded essential for one’s health.
The 78-year-old Michaels, who calls Thursday Night Football games for Amazon Prime, is not a fan of vegetables and claims he has never had a single one, at least to his knowledge. While most kids hate veggies but end up incorporating them into their diets as they grow older, it never happened for Al, who still can’t even stand to look at a carrot.
“To this day, no. And I guess what I’ve proven, Chris, is man does not need vegetables to survive,” he told Chris Wallace in a recent interview in which he explained his mother let him have whatever he wanted because his parents were pretty young when he was born.
Surprising, right? But it does work for Michael, who has gone nearly eight decades avoiding the stuff. Other people might not be able to get away with it, but he certainly has.
He also seems to have attracted a few more fans simply based on this dietary revelation.
