A question about Al Sharpton's health

I don't regularly watch MSNBC any more (that's another story). Earlier tonight I saw Rev. Al on his show. What struck me is how thin he's gotten. Does anyone know if he's intentionally losing weight or is he ill.

I know he's a controversial guy, but I like him.

That's not an easy feat for a 57 year old man.

Once you get past mid 30's gaining becomes a hundred times easier than losing. I was worried about him too when I first saw him.
