A CHANGE OF PACE FOR TODAY!

Not bicycle pace, mind you, but a different perspective from a guest blogger!

I hate cancer. Cancer Schmancer...isn't that the title of a book by The Nanny? I've been following Lance Armstrong for years. Check out his foundation website: http://www.LAF.org. My son, Ward ran the NYC Marathon to raise money for LAF. I also follow a blog called the fat cyclist....http://www.fatcyclist.com. Fatty's wife, Susan, just died of metastatic breast cancer. My prayers go out to the family and all they are dealing with at this time. Fatty has done a lot to bring cancer awareness to the forefront through his cycling and his blog. Another one is http://www.blamedrewscancer.com. Here are three guys who have raised a ton of money for cancer research. Log on to them, follow them, and support them. They are great people doing great things.

So, on to my point...
With all the fuss over the Obama health care reform going on, I thought I'd promote a few ideas of my own. Well, maybe not my own, but ones I agree with.

Whole Foods CEO, John Mackey, has some ideas that are being scrutinized to the point of boycotts on the store. Have any of these boycotters read his plan? http://www2.wholefoodsmarket.com/blogs/jmackey/
Am I missing something here? Whats the big deal?
I'm surprised there is so much outrage over his ideas. Is there so much venom between the right and the left that no matter what anyone on the opposite says, it's just simply wrong? even if some of it is right?
The one thing I know is that John Mackey supports good, healthful, eating habits. If this were to be implemented in all of our lives maybe health care reform would be a bit senseless. If there were less consumption of processed foods, sugar, transfats, fast foods, convenience foods, hmmm...you know what I mean......maybe, just maybe (well actually, there is no maybe here), we could eliminate a lot of the health care problems. An idea??? A novel idea. Maybe I should write a book. That's a novel idea.
Do you get the gist here? I'm not boycotting Whole Foods. NO WAY. That would be craaaazeee...tommy noble. Got a bit sidetrack ted there. HaHa Sanel...did you get that?

So, here I am, promoting good eating habits instead of the proposed government health care reform. That's not to say I dont think we need health care reform. (oh my goodness, I'll have protesters out front in no time). NO, but we need HEALTH CARE REFORM! Does anyone get what I'm saying? I've had cancer twice so this hits me hard. I needed health care reform........not from the insurance company, not from the doctors, and definitely NOT from the government. I needed my own health care reform. Now do you understand?

What do I wish for with health care reform? For all of us to take charge of our own lives. It's the only one we get. Dont waste a minute. Stop eating JUNK. Okay okay I'm getting on my soapbox big time.

An interesting website is http://www.naturalnews.com. Mike Adams, the health ranger, has information "all things healthy" geared to help ease the world of "dis" ease. I encourage all who are interested in improving their own health to get on his site and check out his articles. He's got great free e-books. He believes you are what you eat.
So, read his take on reform.........let us know what you think below in the comments.

Mike even has his own Health Care Petition going. Here's a link: http://www.healthrevolutionpetition.org

And here's another great website for health related info:
http://www.blaylockreport.com ........this one will cost ya but it's worth it.

Another great website for super duper eco friendly cleaning products is http://www.melaleuca.com. Contact Ward for info on that if you're interested. Great home based business. Nothing to lose there.
Check out this YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmfLU5QVa8Y

So, this is my story and I'm stickin to it..........like glue. I'm for healthy eating, healthy living, and all things green...veggies, that is!
And as my son says..........."TV? Turn that thing off and go outside." (of course, he lives and works around Yosemite National Park...how hard is that to get outside, huh?)
So come on.....get movin......whip up a green smoothie.....lace up your shoes.......get on your bike.......go outside.
AND dont forget to LIVESTRONG.
Back to you Ward. Oh, and what do you want for dinner? Shall I go to WholeFoods?
