Description
Before I continue with the Market Series, I think it appropriate to toss in this self portrait I did in my home studio.
It is severely out of focus, and the F-stop was set poorly, but it demonstrates the success I had in five months time. I was no more physically active in China than I was in the States.
I do not give a tinkers damned what your doctor, or Cargil, or Archer Daniel Midland says; Americans are being poisoned for the sake of Wall Street Bankers!
When I returned to the USA, my glucose was normal, my blood pressure was lower than when I was 19, and I could actually run again even though I have three plate, two pins, and nine screws holding my right ankle together. In 2005 I was in a Wheel Chair and was told I would never get back out of it!
Bah! Americans, you are being lied to!

My gosh, Joe! That is incredible. I agree there is a lot of marketing for the sake of monetary gain here. But for those who really care about their health, there are resources. Put convenience aside, eat fresh and eat only when hungry. Don't sit in front of the TV or game box when you can be outside. And you don't need a pill to regulate every bodily function you have...nature and proper diet will take care of 99% of it without help. You look great!

Great news on your improved health! I thoroughly believe the various Food Boards lie to us. What about the recent (Bush years) inversal of the "Food Pyramid"? Obeisity went out the roof, even in the military! All for the sake of the bloody-buck! Sure, First we hang all the lawyers! Others are surely close in line!

It is very sad to see the number of people that are over weight and out of shape. I like PJs comment and I agree with what she said. And it is so easy after a long day to just pull into a drive through and pick up dinner for your family but truly if you think of the time, it is just as easy to go home and fix something healthy in a matter of minutes.. have a great day!

If you've seen the PBS documentary "King Corn" then you can really understand why Americans are more and more overweight and unhealthy. (It is also on youtube.) It is very difficult to avoid fattening corn products in our food, with few exceptions (one being lamb) our whole meat industry is corn-based. And yes, it is mogul-business-money based greed. I use fresh fruits and vegetables when in season and frequent the local Farmer's Markets, and otherwise read labels and make the best choices I can. Congrats on getting healthy! =)
