Health Care Reform

I want to publically add our platform to the ongoing battle for health care reform.  All sides have become vitriolic to the point that some are even talking about a possible civil war should the health care legislation pass.  We cannot sit idly at the crossroads any longer.  Our proposal, if accepted, will do more to improve the health of Americans than any legislation. 

Our platform can be explained in 100 words, penned by Greg Glassman:

• Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
• Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch.
• Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.
• Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
• Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy.
• Keep workouts short and intense.
• Regularly learn and play new sports.
