Mitt Romney's VP select Paul Ryan does thousands of pushups and pull ups daily, and runs marathons weekly (he really doesn't but he does live at the gym).

Fox’s Chris Wallace tried to wish Rep. Paul Ryan a Happy Birthday, but the cake freaked out the fitness guru who loves small government and even smaller waistlines.

Mediaite.com reported that Ryan‘s 42nd birthday was noted by Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace. At the end of the segment, a member of Wallace’s crew appeared on camera presenting Ryan with a large sheet cake decorated with a dollar sign, and Wallace encouraged Ryan to cut into it.

Ryan joked that we should be making more dollars and less cake (he's right see the CDC we're fat bastards report) for all people all across the country.

Ryan told Wallace he stopped eating sweets a long time ago.
