I’ve been on a roll and posting some things on Facebook that weren’t exactly politically correct.  Here are just a few: Scott posted about food regulation and I personally think that people are just plain stupid to eat the way that they do. “I don’t eat any junk food, fast food or drink any...

Settling For #2 Or Worse…

October 17, 2011
By Rich

I am a voracious reader when it comes to faith, family and fitness and Thursday I read an article in the New York Times that I find disturbing. It is entitled, “China’s Next Revolution Is in Fitness” which on the surface doesn’t seem that interesting or significant but this line from the article does,...

Pray for the Health of Our Nation

August 26, 2011

This morning, I read this headline, “Obesity to Worsen, Weigh Heavily on Healthcare Costs“. The article went on to say that “If present trends continue, about half of both men and women in the United States will be obese by 2030, health experts warned”. What is most tragic about this article is this, “Obesity...

When there is a fire, flood,...

Does Anyone Remember John Candy?

December 1, 2010
By Howtobefit

I remember John Candy from movies like “Stripes“, “Cool Runnings” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” (where he played Del, the shower curtain ring salesman) and how he made so many people laugh.  That was his gift to everyone around him.  He stopped giving that gift when he died from a heart attack at 43,...

You need to lose weight, you need to lower your cholesterol, you need to get your blood pressure down, you need to… When are you going to stop being a ticking time bomb?  Do you need to get the life sentence of diabetes from being overweight or obese?   Will you wait until you...

Is There a Link Between Obesity and the Devastation in Haiti?

January 17, 2010
By Rich

On Tuesday as we all know, there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti.  Is it connected to the floor that collapsed in a building on Wednesday?  No, that was the floor in the Weight Watchers weigh in room and the 20 people there thought that it was an earthquake.  They now realize even more...

Why Do We Need a Fat Acceptance Movement?

January 7, 2010
By Rich

Yesterday I read an article in CNN Health entitled, “Is the fat acceptance movement bad for our health?”  Why do we need a fat acceptance movement?  Who cares if you are fat or thin or somewhere in between.  What difference does it make if you are tall or short or somewhere in between.  Does...
