How is it that we as a people in these great big United States just can't get this eat to live physiology right? Why are we a society of diseased and obese people? Even when we are only 20 pounds overweight we are classified as obese because of our body to fat ratio, our BMI.

We all know because of mass media how we should be eating to take the best care of our bodies. There are thousands of books and articles by as many doctors and/or nutritionists in this country. But we still defy logic by putting dangerous, disease contributing man made substances into our bodies then expect to stay young and beautiful.

Get control of your self, change your lifestyle, be an example to others. Be a leader. It really is fairly simple. Eat real food. Foods made from real, grown from the ground, ingredients.

So there's all that time spent filling up on poison and no time for exercise. Does this make any sense? It doesn't and we know it. Again, a lazy people.

It seems diabetes is the largest food type of disease in this country. Our children are dieing from a disease that is avoidable. It is a food related disease. Read any material published by Dr. Diane Schwarzbein. (The Schwaszbein Principle) This is a diabetic's bible. Dr. Schwarzbein is one of our country's leading Endocrinologists. Have you seen the children on television shows that are obese, their parents searching for help? They are 300/400 pounds of soda, pizza and potato chips. When we get it together and decide not to
