      You don't think he is or attempting to? Little people in small bodies love to think they're saving the world by preaching. For all we know he's trying, he probably has some personal or genetic issues. At least he's not hiding that talent because of what people might say. He can still live and get out there while doing weight loss. It's just none if our business to thing we should say something to someone with a larger body. I'm sure they know their bodies more than me or you.
