I had a (brief) conversation today with a friend about the amount of fruit I eat and she expressed concern over the ill effects that eating such amounts would have on my health. While I appreciate the concern it was certainly unfounded and even out right wrong in the view point of fruit comsumption and health. In the same conversation another friend spoke of eating nachos and (deep fried) potato skins drawing no like minded comments on the negative impact it would (and will have)It seems the view that too much of a healthy and good thing is bad but a "moderate" amount of truly harmful "food" is more than just okay - it's actually good for you. All this in the face of the only evidence I care to present - at 46 I am in possibly the best health and shape of my life and perhaps more importantly, I am happy about my place within the circle of cruelty that our present food and agribussiness indusrties keep us part of (trapped) - I am free of it. It's truly win- win and it's a shame that not only so many don't understand this - but that they defend their unhealthy, cruelty producing lifstyle as natural, healthy (in moderation) and safer than my own. Even a tiny bit of research on their part would show them how sadly wrong they are and more so even a brief (try it for 30 days, 21 days...)foray into a vegan, raw vegan or even vegetarian lifestyle produces near immediet positive results on health, weight loss and well being. They would be pleasnty surprised...if they only had the courage.
Here's Mike Arnstein-who's not only faster but more informative and entertaining then myself laying it on the line.
(not - since this video Mike has finished Western States Endurance 100, won Vermont 100 and placed 4th in Leadville 100 - all within months)
