VEGETABLES VS. AMERICAN IDOL.

Campbell proving that push ups are a great bodyweight exercise...of sorts.

I found this the other day and of course as a health practitioner and someone that makes a living in the fitness industry, was appalled as usual.  This is an incredibly good read on just why the situation in our country is what it is.  (And it’s really not good.  Santa Barbara is not the best representation of the U.S.)  Who every thought that companies producing the highest rates of disease causing food would have an input into the ADA?
Here’s a snippet of the ARTICLE for you.

“Latest figures confirm the ridiculous: three out of four of you (Americans – tb) will be ‘overweight or obese’ by 2020. To gauge perspective: there are now more ‘fat’ people than ‘white’ people in America. Perhaps our bigots of the future will swing their hatred away from ‘race’ to the slim and healthy.
The shrinking minority are, indeed, the shrinking minority.
Stupid? Welcome to a population who know less about what they put into their mouths than they do about, well, take your pick…celebrities or cars or American Idol or iPhones? Animals have the intelligence to know what to eat and to never get fat (except the ones fed by humans). Yet that simple challenge, gaining nourishment without destroying the body, is beyond your capabilities?”

Please read the whole thing, forward to anyone you think might be interested and post your thoughts to comments.
