Daily Inspiration Quote by Neil Cavuto

Cavuto’s line lands as a preemptive eye-roll at modern victimhood culture, delivered in the plainspoken cadence of cable news: “A lot of lawyers” are “set” to absolve him, and he’s not buying it. The phrasing matters. “Set to” suggests a whole apparatus already queued up - not advice offered in good faith, but a script ready to run. By choosing “lawyers” as the chorus, he invokes an America where personal choices get reframed as liabilities, where every appetite can be litigated into someone else’s responsibility.

The joke isn’t really about food. It’s about agency. “It’s not my fault I like to eat” is intentionally childish, the kind of excuse you’d expect from a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Cavuto uses that childishness to mock adult rationalizations: the comforting idea that desire equals destiny, and destiny cancels accountability. The subtext is conservative-coded but not subtle: a skepticism toward the medical-legal-industrial complex that, in his telling, profits by turning ordinary self-control into a courtroom argument.

Contextually, this fits a media ecosystem obsessed with obesity, wellness panic, and class-action logic - from “supersize” culture to lawsuits against fast-food chains. Cavuto’s intent is to reclaim the old-fashioned moral frame (you choose, you own it) while puncturing the therapeutic language that softens consequences. It works because it’s self-incriminating on purpose: he admits the indulgence, then refuses to outsource blame, turning confession into a jab at the culture of excuses.
