“I have watched him eat hundreds of meals and he dearly loves meat and potatoes – and desserts,” Chamberlain said.

Which eaten in large quantities, is unhealthy.

There should be...a "doctrine" against that

Does not the Word of Wisdom counsel that meat should be eaten sparingly?

The boy who never grew into a man. Isn't that heartwarming? Isn't he special?

Wow. Just when you think there is no way that Prophet Monson could be more fascinating than he already is, this pops up! Just Wow. What a rare and unusual characteristic. He loves food! He eats it all the time! What a trend setter. What a rare quality in today's world. How inspiring.

With this revelation, I'll bet that next week they'll be reporting that he actually uses the bathroom. You never know. Could be. What a revelation that would be. Can't wait.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear them make the claims that were made of Kim Jong Il -- the ones about he was such an evolved being that he neither urinated nor defecated.

Wow! He's human! Doesn't the news media realizes that everybody does this?? It isn't that special.

Sheesh, how boring a person is he if that's all they can come up with?

"He is an avid necktie collector, amassing a selection of over two dozen ties of varying widths, patterns and colors..."

Oh, I actually find a love of food to be endearing. I'm not going to hold that against him. My mom loved food as well. It's one of life's simple pleasures. She took a lot of pride in cooking meals for my dad, who was also a meat and potatoes man. And now my niece and nephew are both professional chefs. I think the kids got their appreciation of a good meal from my mom.

How sweet that Monson's mom regularly provided Sunday meals for a needy neighbor.

So now we know that the Q15 enjoy chocolate bonbons at their weekly meetings. You would think that would give them a more cheerful, loving outlook!

What I found glaringly missing in the story is how Monson enjoys other people and finds pleasure in serving others. How even in his temple attendance meetings, the purpose is to find new and better ways to follow Christ's admonition to serve the least of these. How, now that he's attained the rank of prophet he's even more able to do good things for his flock. But no, rather, it was all about self serving pleasures.

The only story of service was that of his mother.

Oh, and now we can infer that since he's top dog, he gets the best chocolates.

Yeah, I get that. He's a man who has never missed a meal, except for self-imposed fasting.

I'm always surprised that the church just doesn't get it. An article like this should never have seen the light of day, and yet, they think it's appealing.

Funny of how this story pops up at a time when his public appearances are nil; which causes so many of us to speculate that he is indeed in poor health. Only the church PR would run this type of BS for the members to gobble up as to mask the reality of TSM undergoing a feeding tube procedure.

Here follows an old film clip of the day Joy-boy Tommy Monson brought home a date to meet his mom.

This plainly illustrates the origin of his hobby.
