Mission Statement

Our society's relentless pursuit of the capitalist ideal has caused some challenges for us ragamuffins. Corn, once plentiful and the dietary staple of many a civilization, is now more valuable as a food for cattle, bio-fuel and countless other products in need of syrup as an artificial sweetener. Leaving the poor with tortillas at a buck apiece. Same with rice, wheat and soy. Big Arga has genetically changed the way we eat, adding steroids, chemicals, fertilizers, additives and shelf life enhancers. Bottom line is that what we eat today is nutritionally nothing like it was twenty-five years ago. Big Pharma says, "hey no problem, we got cures for that". Then Big Insurance charges you to pay for the pills that are 'needed' because the food you eat is dripping with toxins. All this insidiousness is a legal of course, even traded upon and exploited by stocks, bonds, subsidies, futures and patents. There is big money in your health, be it good or ill.

Big money to keep your health good and bigger money to treat it when it's not so good. Ah, but we of little coin, have a plan. Armed with some counter intelligence, we small but impassioned covert group of radicals are wanting nothing more than the freedom to take responsibility for our own, individual good health. I am (proudly) one of them. They are us. We. The BIG WE. I think there are a lot of us, and the numbers, I trust, are growing. Here is what we do (and you may spread the word):

We eat the best we can. We take responsibility for ourselves, our families and our communities good health. We exercise. We play. We grow and we learn. We sing and we look for inspiration. We support one another and promote happiness over greed and power. We love.

Please correct me of I am off-base, but that sounds like a pretty fair mission statement.

Some didactic examples in the Macca video, sponsored by Cliff Bar, in this Dr. Barry Sears link, he of the Zone Diet, talking about inflammation and toxins, the Cross-Fit site for yet another variation on a theme by intensity, (thank you CC) and lastly one last plug for tonight's exclusive screening of the Race Across the Sky.


I will be in the Pavilion lobby tonight from 5-8 with the full CompuTrainer sampler system showing how this amazing indoor training tool can change your life. Or at least the part of your life that allows one to take charge of their own good health and fitness.

Or you can let the folks mentioned above do it for you.
