Last night I watched a fabulous movie. I’ve seen clips from it over the past couple
of years, and was finally able to sit down and watch the whole thing. I found
it inspiring, a re-validation of the power of food, and how our choices can
impact how we live. The movie is “Fat,
Sick and Nearly Dead” by Joe Cross. It’s
a documentary that follows his path after deciding to reclaim his health and
his life, and also the people he meets and affects along the way.
While there are many facets to health and healing, what we
choose to eat can have an enormous impact.
Joe’s choice was to do an extended juice fast. Do I think that’s what
everyone should run out and do? No. But I do think everyone needs to take a
good look at what’s on their plate and on the end of their fork – starting with
me. I eat a relatively healthy diet, but
I also eat a lot of crap and “food-like products.”
It’s May 1st – my adventure for the next 31 days
is to “walk the walk” and really pay attention to what I’m feeding myself and
my family.
And right now you can find the movie on YouTube for free for
a limited time – not sure when they will take it down. It's 90 minutes long and worth the time spent.
Have a fabulous day, and here’s to healthy choices!
