Avoided Cholesterol from 116,070 Slices of Bacon

In the book, Milk The Deadly Poison, the author makes it very clear that the average American consumes the equivalent amount of cholesterol from dairy products every day that they would have from 53 slices of bacon.

His book explains that by the time the average American reaches the age of 52 they have consumed the equivalent amount of cholesterol from dairy products as they would have from 1 million slices of bacon.

When I read this everything became so clear. My uncle didn't die of a heart attack at 37 because he had bad genes or a party lifestyle. He was consuming products that every single one of us did and these foods kill. That is why heart disease is the number one killer in America!

We want to blame it on genes, because it makes life easier for us. It gives us a chance to point a blame finger and not take responsibility for our own actions.

That ended my love affair with dairy products. Now my total cholesterol is 116 and I feel better than I ever have in my life.

In the last six years I have not been sick one time with the exception of one food poisoning incident. I can also exercise longer and more often than ever before.

So far after six years of avoiding dairy products I have avoided consuming the cholesterol that would have been found in 116,070 slices of bacon. No wonder my total cholesterol is 116.

Bacon

What clever name would I have to come up with to justify eating something this adorable?

Is the word "bacon" enough to make us completely forget that every single creature on this planet wants to live?

My total cholesterol is 116 because I prefer to eat plants. Even though the screams of that head of cabbage and the murdering of each tomato keeps me up late at night.

It's hard to believe that heart disease is the number one killer in this country and no body wants to acknowledge what is causing it.

Jon Hinds - Super Strong Vegan Fitness Trainer

A Plant-Based Diet Will Improve Athletic Performance

What kind of fuel are you using? Are you filling up on donuts, macaroni&cheese, and peanut butter sandwiches or whole foods?

Jon Hinds is an incredible athlete. He is 45 years old and he is the owner of Monkey Bar Gym. On the link above you can listen to a recording of his story.

I was inspired by his story about how he defeated arthritis with a plant-based diet and how he taught Tony Gonzalez how to consume a whole foods plant-based diet.

Why would we want to put garbage in these incredible bodies? When I have my green smoothie in the morning I feel incredible! I can't wait to taste that incredible smoothie that has been blended to perfection by my blender that has the same type of motor as some boat motors.

Why would we want to just look strong and poison ourselves at the same time? Jon Hinds is looking strong, and feeling strong and doing it the "healthy way".

Destroying Rain Forest for Palm Oil

Greenpeace Report Links Nestlé to Rainforest Destruction - Everything that is bad for human health is also bad for the environment. Vegetable oils like palm oil are just one of the many things that destroys the environment and human health.

Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn reversed heart disease, but he had to get all of his patients off of vegetable oils to do so. This is why any vegan out there can die of heart disease because vegetable oils destroy the arteries like cigarette smoking destroys the lungs.

Dr. Esselstyn told me on the phone that every single high fat meal damages the endothelial cells in our arteries and that damage can be seen with medical diagnostic equipment for up to 4 hours after a meal. Do this for 30 years and your arteries will not be able to function like they are supposed to?

We should all work at limiting proccessed food in our diet and boycotting palm oil to save our rainforests from destruction and to improve our quality of life.

The bible asked us to love ourselves and that entails taking care of our bodies and our health. You can't love yourself and destroy your health at the same time.

Humans haven't listened to this simple message and as a result have turned places like the Sahara Forest into the Sahara desert. We have continued to do things that are bad for our health and the planet's health and eventually the planet will exterminate us if we keep it up.

Forks Over Knives - New Documentary Coming This Summer!!!

My uncle died of a heart attack at 37 and my mother died of cancer at age 44. It is criminal that our government is subsidizing foods that cause disease right now.

Why does our government choose to subsidize foods that cause heart disease and cancer?

Why is the government subsidizing foods that are turning this country into a gigantic desert?

Why is the government subsidizing foods that are making our health care system more expensive than any health care system in the world?

The world needs to see this movie so we can regain our sanity as a culture. How much longer can we poison ourselves at every single meal? The American suicide diet is just not sustainable. There are not enough resources for Americans to eat this food for too many more decades.

Forks Over Knives - Movie Trailer - Watch the trailer for the new documentary Forks Over Knives coming out this summer.

Beyond Beef - Destroying the World One Bite At a Time

Escapism. So many of us are spending every second trying to escape reality through television, movies, video games, ipods, and an endless amount of distractions.

We spend so much time doing this that many of us aren't educated about what we can do as individuals to make this a better world for those around us and future generations.

The sad thing is we are not living mindfully and are not opening our eyes up to the destruction caused by the American lifestyle.

The same thing has been happening for thousands of years. At one time the Sahara desert was actually a forest that was thriving with life. Deforestation and livestock grazing turned that land into the largest desert in the world.

Please read Beyond Beef by Jeremy Rifkin so you can live more mindfully and understand how destructive consuming beef is to the environment. Cattle grazing and growing crops for livestock is the primary cause of deforestation, desertification, species extinction, water depletion, water pollution, topsoil erosion, world hunger, and results in more green house gases than all the vehicles in the world according to the Food and Agriculture division of the United Nations.


Why bring children into this world just to destroy it? Learn how to cook some meals that have zero animal products in them and you will be on your way to reducing our resource consumption. According to one estimate switching to a vegan diet can save up to 300,000 gallons of water per year. Professor David Pimentel found that it takes up to 12,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef and documented this in his book, Ecological Integrity.

I love myself so I don't eat things that clog my arteries. I love myself so I don't eat things like beef that result in this planet being turned into one gigantic Sahara desert.

Hundred Years of Lies

“You are poisoning yourself! Before you eat another bite of food... before you take another pill... you owe it to yourself (and those you love) to read this book!”
—David Rippe,Author of The Flip

“This is a must read for anyone truly interested in a healthier life.”
—Book Sense,The American Bookseller's Association

“The Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health, is one of those books that not only needs to be read by every thinking person in America, it also needs to be in the hands of political leaders and policymakers who have been controlled by the very industries that have created the massive health crisis Fitzgerald so clearly exposes.”
—Elissa Meininger,NewsWithViews.com

We have been lied to for over 100 years by the food industry and the medical industry. When my mother passed away from cancer at 44, and my uncle passed away from a heart attack at 37 I was just supposed to blame it on genetics and go on with my life. I was supposed to continue poisoning myself at every meal.

Instead I decided to start reading and I didn't stop. I am still reading about what is going on and I am always learning. Learning about Jack Lalanne really made me think. Here is a guy who is 95 and doesn't have cancer or heart disease. That was one thing that made me realize I had been lied to. For my whole life we were supposed to blame all of our bad diseases on genetics.

Then I read about the Okinawans and the Hunzans that live in disease free societies where nursing homes don't exist.

Eventually I worked my way to The Hundred Year Lie by Randal Fitzgerald. I don't know about you, but I don't like being lied to. I don't care if I am enjoying my bacon double cheeseburger or not...I don't like being told that heart disease and cancer are just bad genetics when that is a LIE.

Read this book and you will be shocked at how things changed in America. How heart disease went from being almost non-existent to being the number one killer. You will see how we traded in our farm grown food for junk food and processed food and then we ended up with the most expensive health care system in human history.

We live in a nation that started off by boycotting goods that didn't fit our ideals. Now each of us can begin to boycott junk food and start to support local farmers as we revolt against one hundred years of lies.
