Eat Right, Be Healthy, Live Long, Look Good… and Do It All on Less Than $250 a Month
My grandmother at 100 and 108 years old. She has really taken good care of herself.
My mom at 83 and me at 57.
The fast food industry has been blamed for the obesity of America. I think it's fast food, junk food, ignorance and laziness. On the left: Morgan Spurlock, writer-director-and-star of Super Size Me. On the right: the results of "McDonalds Hits Africa," an ad spoof.
Art immitating life. Pixar blew out the stops in Wall-e, with the way they addressed the problem of obesity, though director Andrew Stanton later denied that was their intent. In the movie Up, they again cast an overweight character, the Boy Scout Russell. This trend indicates that obesity is becoming accepted in America.
I don't believe in being cruel to anyone. But in the old days, public ridicule would keep certain behaviors and lifestyles in check. Today, we're told to be nice to everyone, not to offend anyone, and, by all means, to go out of our way to accommodate people's weaknesses. Jesus wouldn't have fit too well into our indulgent society.
It's Easy, It's Simple, and My 109-Year-Old Grandmother is Proof!
That's right: my grandmother will be 109 years old this July, and she is on no medication. My mother will be 84 this year, and everybody tells her she looks like she's 69. And I've had the same body weight since high school, when I was playing three sports. (Okay, it's distributed a little differently... but still!)
I have friends in their twenties that struggle with being over-weight. Some are my size (and I'm no giant) and are as much as 50 pounds over-weight. They are young men with middle age bodies. I almost can't go out to eat anymore because I feel like I'm on the cruise ship from the movie Wall-E with all those adults that look like chubby babies. Yes, Michelle, our nation has an obesity problem!
But don't panic - help is on the way. Dr. Waits is here with some simple things you can do to eat right, be healthy, live long and look good... and, yes, do it all on less than $250 a month.
