"Readers have been ravenous for \u201CMark Zuckerberg&amp;#8217;s new challenge: Eating only what he kills.\u201D Thursday\u2019s Postcard continues to generate huge traffic and a never-ending debate: Is Facebook\u2019s founder and CEO crazy or is he the most rational billionaire in Silicon Valley?\nNo surprise, the name-calling given Zuckerberg\u2019s \u201Cpersonal challenges,\u201D as he describes them&amp;#8211;from the Year of the Tie to learning Chinese to eating meat only from creatures he kills. The 27-year-old Internet billionaire is \u201Ca freak\u201D\u2026\u201Da moron\u201D\u2026\u201Da total flake\u201D\u2026\u201Da meathead,\u201D readers told us.\nAmong the 500+ comments (yes, I read \u2018em all), here are a few of my favorites:\n\u201CWonder how MySpace tasted?\u201D a reader named Svscnn asked.\n\u201CDoes he Friend the animals when he acquires them, and then UnFriend them when he whacks them?\u201D wrote Josephus Blow.\n\u201COK, who would of thought sarah palin would have rubbed off on mark zuckerberg?\u201D asked Hoaggy.\n\u201COh great, it&amp;#8217;s Howard Hughes 2.0,\u201D said Gobnait.\nMany of you branded Zuckerberg one of the \u201Cidle rich.\u201D One reader, Bobiii, recommended a book to help analyze Zuckerberg: \u00A0The Authenticty Hoax: How We Get Lost Finding Ourselves, which attributes the fetish for &amp;#8220;authentic&amp;#8221; lifestyles\u2014from organic produce to ecotourism to the cult of Oprah&amp;#8211;to self-absorbed individualism and status-seeking.\nOnly Zuck knows the truth about himself (click here to read his private Facebook page comment about killing what he eats). The real surprise to me is that a lot of readers \u201Cget\u201D Mark Zuckerberg. At least half of those who wrote in showed sympathy for the guy. From James Asbury: \u201CI think if a man of his intelligence and wealth suddenly decides that he&amp;#8217;s going to slaughter and consume a variety of farm animals, then one has to assume that he&amp;#8217;s a bit paranoid about his food and considering who he is and how he&amp;#8217;s gotten to where he is, perhaps he has good reason.\u201D\nOthers commended the kid who was Time\u2019s 2010 \u201CPerson of the Year\u201D because, as Japes Macfarland wrote, \u201Che found a way to feel really grateful for something as simple as his food again.\u201D\nIf the Facebook boss was hoping to \u201Cfriend\u201D farmers and hunters, now he surely has. \u201CBoth of my parents were raised on farms and lived that way,\u201D a reader named Jeeperz wrote. \u201CMy now 80 year old mother laughs and says &amp;#8216;I was raised organic and didn&amp;#8217;t even know it&amp;#8217;\u2026When you&amp;#8217;re completely responsible for your subsistence, you end up being a person completely responsible in other ways.\nUpstartMedia offered this support: \u201CZuckerberg actually creates a goal each year to improve himself&amp;#8230;Read the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. It was because he created his own 13 virtues that he changed himself (over the years) from a literal gluttonous slob (who people actually moved away from in a crowd) to one of the most respected and influential leaders in modern history.\u201D\nEnough Zuck?! Perhaps, but if you&amp;#8217;re still hungry for more about the Internet billionaire\u2019s dietary plan, you can watch this piece that aired on ABC\u2019s \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t Good Morning America this weekend. And click here to watch a CNBC interview with me on the topic.\nFor now I leave you with what\u2019s next for Mark Zuckerberg\u2026Hunting, I hear."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
