Michael Moore, the controversial documentary film maker, is out promoting his new film Sicko opening June 29th. In the same vein as “Roger and Me” and “Fahrenheit,” his latest film tackles our health care system and exposes its short comings. Feeling a little “hypocritical” about not taking care of his health and his burgeoning waist line over the years, he recently started the Pritikin diet on the advice of Roger Ebert.

Following the Pritikin diet, he reveals to New Yorker Magazine that he lost 30 lbs over the past 3 months. His advice to others: “What I learned through Pritikin is pretty basic. Like, one common denominator of overweight people is, they don’t get enough sleep. Basically, my advice to the 65 percent of the country that’s overweight is to do three simple things: Get seven to eight hours sleep every night, go for a 45-minute walk each day, and eat at least 35 grams of fiber each day.”

I hope he considers a follow-up film to address the larger health care crisis: obesity in America. Overweight children being placed on diabetic medications. Soda machines in schools. Super sized fast food menus. Come on Michael, what do you say?
