Is anyone else here concerned with the eating habits of Cliff Mishler, especially since he is Presid

Longacre

I recently re-subscribed to Numismatic News. The articles are generally good, and I remembered how much I liked reading about the numismatic travels of Clifford Mishler in his articles. He tends to put a homespun touch in the articles, such as referring to his Town Car, his dogs and cats, and his family.

The other thing that he focuses on is the restaurants that he eats at during his travels. He gets down to what he actually orders during his meals. I, for one, am getting a little concerned. Rather than eating at the finest establishments that the ANA President deserves to eat at, he frequently stops by Cracker Barrel, Shoney's, roadside buffets, and the like. He orders things like stuffed French toast for breakfast and other things that are not the most healthy for you. It seems that he does this on a consistent and regular basis.

As a member of the ANA, I have concerns about what our President is eating. Has anyone else noticed this as well, and does it cause you a concern? Does he owe us all, as numismatists, to eat healthier, because he is our President?

He walks everyday.

RWB

No. What he eats is his business and if he wants to tell everyone about it, that's up to him.

MidLifeCrisis

Uh, no.

Longacre I share your concern for this. I think some of this can be put down to a 'being one of the people' approach somewhat akin to the much ballyhooed 'Management by walking around' trend of a few years ago. Having observed both dealers and collectors eating habits at a number of shows (small ones for sure but I am almost 100% positive that the same thing goes on at larger shows) and noticing that healthy eating is generally not a concern, being President of one of the largest organizations representing these folks aligning yourself with them as much as possible helps understanding their positions and can assist in garnering votes and political allies.

'Let them eat cake' didn't work out too well for Marie Antoinette and I don't think a 'Let them eat steak, caviar and foi gras' shows you are aware of the condition of the common collector and dealers in the Numismatic universe, at least in the US anyway. Maybe European collectors and dealers have more refined tastes, not sure.

Just curious...has 'the man' changed the menu recently in the executive dining room to include healthier but less tasty fare and as a result you are thinking about changing professions to one where you can indulge in butter basted fare to your hearts content (at least until it stops working as a result!!))

As an ANA life member, I have to answer that question "Hell No!" If I were a member of his
family, then I might have some say in the matter.

healthy? american? irony...

He's probably eating healthier than most of the dealers do at coin shows.

Quit reading magazines and get back to work. You are wasting The Man's time.

My concern is with the imbibing habits of Longacre. Sitting in his overstuffed leather chair, en-cozyed in a fine Italian handmade smoking jacket and sipping VSOP can strain the liver and nearby organs. The Man would be lost without Longacre’s guidance to Beijing cuisine and Cuban cigar.

The people who publish the "What is healthy and what is unhealthy" lists are eager to create work for themselves. They publish a lot of crap that sounds good but it is mostly self serving. They also probably get support from the manufacturers of some of the expesive food options they recommend. The bottom line is that fat isn't that bad for you, proteins are needed and often improperly excluded from diets, and carbohydrates are over-emphasized or ignored when they are the cause of the problem. Unless you have a health issue to address (such as a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol), then good health is just an energy balance. Burn as much as you eat, and you won't gain weight. Obesity if the root of most health problems which are often called by the name of their symptoms because it just isn't seen as ok to say, "You're just too fat." Fat is ok and we spend millions of dollars of healthcare money treating it. It isn't in the healthcare industries best interest to keep people thin either. I don't get to run anymore now that I'm a single dad but after I finish my double cheeseburger I have some foot errands to run and I don't take elevators. I will walk 72 holes of golf this weekend and will once again carry my daughter on hikes through yosemite. If you can keep up, you're welcome to join us.

Eat your protein, accept the fat that comes with it. Exercise more than you eat, and you'll live long and prosper.

Cheesburger is now done. I'm off.

all i have to say is that I'm craving some stuffed french toast right about now

a place where I grew up used to make bacon stuffed french toast, hahaha, now that's pretty healthy i prefer the banana stuffed variety.

Based on the popularity of the Five Guys thread a while back, i think Mishler eats healthier than most of us

Your concern is quite touching. Is there more to this relationship than meets the eye?

Something must be done! Cliff eating at Big Boy threatens to drag the image of numismatists out the smoking chair and down into the muck of hoi polloi!

Aw, come on. This is a totally tongue-in-cheek post. I thought it was quite humrous.

Frankly, I am more worried about Longacre's dining habits (which I have now witnessed in person) than Mr. Mishler's (whom I would not know from Adam).

Ouch... That's gonna leave a mark!

This is a ridiculous post about the eating habits of the president of the ana.
Get a life Longacre.
This by far is OT.

I've known Cliff since 1974 and have to say . . . I'll have what he's having.

In the intervening decades, Cliff has dropped, by my conservative WAG, 50 pounds and kept it off for decades.

He's 70 years old now, and I don't know that he's ever spent a night in a hospital.

His daily "constitutional" when he's on the road seems to offset any ill effects from his choice of fine dining establishments.

What I want to know is when Mister Longacre is going to stop doctoring and selling coins.

Now, to be sure, I have no evidence that Mister Longacre is using chemicals to tone coins so that he can sell them for a huge profit.

But I also see no denial that Mister Longacre creates artifically toned coins and bases his business off of this.

The silence is deafening.

One would assume that Mister Longacre would step up to defend his reputation. Is something preventing him from doing so?

One would think that on a matter as important as this, Mister Longacre would deny his involvement with doctoring and selling coins for a profit.

I am amazed that there is no denial of these potentially damaging potential facts.

The non response speaks volumes.

I, for one, am appalled at the accusations that Mister Longacre colors coins and sells them.

But am further appalled and disappointed about his silence on the matter.

I actually loved the Norm MacDonald portion of the Saget roast. It brought crickets at first until the crowd caught on. MacDonalds bit was pure genius and gutsy as h#ll since it was super slow to unfold............MJ
