Parents Overestimating Children's Level of Fitness

Every parent thinks their kid is the best, the brightest, the best looking and apparently the most physically fit. Unfortunately, the opposite is true (when it comes to the physically fit part).

Personally, computers & on-line gaming have our children living their lives inside a digital world rather than outside in the parks & fields playing ball, riding bikes and getting their exercise along with some good laughs.

But this short article based on a British Heart Foundation survey points out the needs for kids to get off their couches and parents to take more of an active roll.

There's no easy way to be a parent, you've got to just suck it up, put down your foot.....hopefully on the pedal of your bicycle.

High Fructose Corn Syrup At Whole Foods

Yes, you read that correctly. The other day I was having lunch at Whole Foods here in South Beach with my wife and a good friend & local Hypnotist Todd Goodwin (MiamiHypnosis.net) and Todd was telling me how you even have to read labels now becauseWhole Foods now has some items with High Fructose Corn Syrup. I was in total disbelief.
At that moment, we got up and went to the salad bar, him trying to prove a point, myself still in disbelief that Whole Foods would be this foolish. Low and behold, there it was...On the ingredient list for their middle eastern "Aramouni's Classic Carrot & Raisin" salad...High Fructose Corn Syrup.



I apologize for the picture quality, but this was the best I could get on my blackberry. Understandably so, Whole Foods didn't want me taking pictures with my nice Canon G10.
Unfortunately my friends, now even at Whole Foods, you must be careful and read the labels. On Everything!
Oh, and here's the best part. When we asked the guy putting the salad bar together about high fructose corn syrup being in this salad, salad bar guy spewed the same crap you hear on the Corn Refiner's of America TV commercial. "well, it's made from corn and corn is natural...right?"
Wrong! Here was my answer: The corn typically grown & used in the USA is a genetically modified strain of corn with a 13 carbon atom structure where original corn had 12 carbon atoms. Let's not forget that in order to get HFCS, the process takes 5 high pressure enzymatic process that eventually result in HFCS.
So let me ask the ultimate question....where in nature does High Fructose Corn Syrup grow?
Whole Foods, Shame On You.

Processed Foods Linked To Depression...

You could actually say: Process Foods Linked To (insert disease name here) and be accurate.

Funny, you read the headline and think this is earth shattering news. I read the headline and say: Wonder why it took 'em this long to figure it out. And then, they go on to say that a diet rich in fresh veggies, fruit and fish could prevent the onset of depression. Geniuses.

Let's not forget the fact that as a species, we (Homo Sapiens) have been eating fresh veggies, fruit, fish (and other naturally grazing/roaming meats) for....oh.....I'd say only a mere 100,000 to 1-million years. Who would have thought that if you made a staple out of highly processed-highly refined foods, fed yourself with it for a few years, no less a few decades, you'd get depressed or sick or develop disease.

When will the public & the researchers wake up??? I dare mention when will the government wake up, but we know they never will, unless there's a way they can tax it or line their own pockets from it. Unfortunately for them, if everyone started eating naturally grown fresh veggies, fruit and fish, 90% of the diseases in this country would go away and most of their pharmaceutical and farming industry would collapse and all those genius scientists and nutritionists would be the ones on the street corner begging for your spare change.....

Or maybe there will be a few job openings on an organic farm and they can find out that the truth has been there all along. Veggies, fruit and clean meats win again.
