PEEP! A pizza with less fat on it. would you try it?

I just did this cause this was one of my transitions to my current diet. I don’t really eat pizza anymore, but when I started on my journey a lower fat diet seemed to work for me. I understand that doesn’t work for everyone. Anyway. If you want to eat pizza and don’t because you are watching your fat or caloric intake….why not take of the part with the most fat…the CHEESE.

Letter...ish that i just wrote. (Thought I would share)

Dear Reader,

I am really just spitting out ideas and trying to bounce them off of people that I see have similar interests.

When I saw the food matters website(www.foodmatters.tv) I just thought I would drop a line. It just seems like with the message that we are trying to get out, there would be more of a movement. i.e. peaceful protest and other movements for GMO labeling and organic awareness.

Maybe I haven’t been paying close enough attention. But I really feel like people just don’t understand that GENERALLY the food they are buying/consuming is sincerely in every way deadly. Maybe I just need to be patient. It just seems like healthy food is so underground.
I am just trying to come up with a way to spread the message besides Youtube and documentaries that only a few people(in proportion to other marketing) hear about.
Where is the financial backing for a decent marketing campaign for healthy food?

It just seems like when there is a good film coming out it maybe at a few theaters with little to know advertising. I am assuming that is because there is no money to promote.

sorry if this is way too much or not up your alley.

like I said I am really just bouncing off ideas.

In short: I would like to start some kind of organization/group/following that brings together all of the people that are in this healthy food movement (including those with who can help in mass promotion i.e. TV) to let all the others know that at the least its available.

If Truth can do it with tobacco whats to stop us from doing it with food?

Thanks for listening. Let me know if you have any ideas.

I have had the ability to take a break from work for a little while and work on myself more. After all of this thinking and writing and writing and thinking I have come back to exactly why I started this whole idea. Keep it simple. Back to the basics. Listen to yourself. Do what is right for you. No one can tell you what that is better than you can. Pass the word along.

05/09 Pictures. With some thoughts on temptation

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 05:10:57 -0500

Some thoughts on Temptation.

Disclaimer: Please understand this was all written on the fly. I am not a grammar whiz nor do I aspire to be one. (on this given hour) Also this is what I am feeling at this given moment. Thats all. Take it for how ever you want it. If at all. Much love.

My idea as it stands is to be able to help people for free without any contingencies standing over me. I.e. monetary debt. What do I want to help them with? I want to help people realize that they CAN do whatever they want. I want to help people realize that they can be healthy and fit and lively and spread GOOD energy. I want to help people achieve their dreams. I want to help people do. I want to help people less fortunate. I want to help people who have gotten so deep that it feels like every time they breathe that the sand just gets tighter and tighter and their breaths get shorter and shorter(ever been burried at the beach standing up?). When people don’t think they can get out, a lot of times they just give up. They don’t know what else to do. Those people don’t have any money to pay a guy like me to help them out. But maybe I can help them get out of that hole. Some people say that it’s their own fault that they are in a hole. I believe that its anybody’s fault that they DO anything. but what choices are we really given? Lets take a look.

Peep this scene(with your imagination)

“Hey everyone! Over here “we” have a little temptation for you. It is good to every single one of your senses. Not just good…it will make you jump out of your socks! It feels good. It looks good. It smells good. It tastes good. It sounds good. Dude its naked!

On the other side to choose from we have guess what…..TEMPTATION!

Now the temptation may not be right for you but we aren’t gonna talk about that. Thats doesn’t help us GAIN anything. And we(offering the temptation) can’t control our own temptations for selfish GAIN.(more on that soon)

And don’t worry about that funny feeling you get. Like maybe you shouldn’t choose the temptation… we will just give you some of this(stuff) i.e.hidden addictive substance. That will cure it right up. We can almost make that feeling go away. That way over time you won’t even feel like the temptation is temptation. You will just choose it naturally.”

What people don’t realize is that when you are standing in the middle, with temptation on each side there is a TOP secret trap door underneath your feet. Now its similar to a sewer in that it is very hard for any one person to open it by themselves. The thing is, once you get it cracked its like an intensely satisfying work out everyday to open it more and more. Then you can just jump right out of the way of the temptation into the MINDSET you were born into. Unaltered. Organic. To be happy and free with nothing to hold you back. To express any idea you can think of.

Young kids grow up with out any thing holding their thoughts back. That is the way we as adults are meant to think. None of us think that way because we were trained to take the temptation. From day 1.

What if people grew up knowing that you can provide for yourself everything you would ever need to live an amazingly healthy and full-filling life style. And your spare time you are free to create and expand your mind. My glass is not half empty or half full. I have a freakin’ waterfall!

But people grow up “knowing” that we “need” a job to get a car to drive to our better paying job, to buy our house,with a loan, that we can’t really pay for, so that we can have some down time from our……….. job… phew!

Something seems a little funky to me in that equation…

what if you didn’t choose the job. -“Oh no he didn’t!”- (psst…I did)

What if we worked together.

Lets totally remove a(1,uno) temptation variable from the situation..Money

Now take a look at(Peep) this scene…

You are born. You are provided for i.e. healthy food and shelter(with out money)(so this roof was built by your family or by volunteers and the food is raised by your family).. until a certain age. Then you are taught how to provide for yourself(with out money). Then you build your own house. Then you grow your own food. And the time that you are not spending on surviving you can spend to do anything you can think of i.e. create.

This is where we run into trouble.

People want some of the creation that some one else has created. That person doesn’t want to share. So here we have two temptations…

The temptation of wanting something that is not rightfully yours

and

The temptation not to share with the person who wants it.

Thats where “money” comes in…What’ll you give me?

That is like a magnet LOOP of destruction that builds a society of Temptation(Like the one we are born into). Why are we born into that? because enough people have not found that TOP secret trap door. Part of that trap door is understanding that if Joe has created something for himself and he has one for himself already, if joe shows Bob how to create one too than Joe is not out ANYTHING! Maybe a little time. Another part is that Bob should be cautious of Joe’s time spent and understand that he has to survive also.

The idea is to avoid temptation to help each other have access to all the creations of one another. And then avoid the tempting creations…

Imagine being so disciplined that you cannot be tempted. The freedom to say NO! to anything that you want to say NO! to. And the freedom to give all of your creations because you have an abundance…

I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THAT TRAP DOOR AND GET THAT THING OPENED UP!

I think one of the best ways to do that is to travel and volunteer my time and ideas to those who want help. I would really like to be physically present when helping people.

There are so many ways to help people. People are usually so thankful for even the slightest amount of help too. I am starting to really get into energy. I am realizing that I want to focus on contributing as much good energy as I can to everywhere that exists. Thats quite an idea I guess. Some may say it sounds crazy. It just happens to be how I feel at this point in time.

Its ALL about discipline.

I’m really into beans. At lest I was until I ate some soaked black beans with out cooking them. No fun. In my search for which beans to eat raw and which ones to not, I found this site http://www.sproutpeople.com. Its pretty cool. I learned from eating and reading that black beans are supposed to be cooked. If your interested check it out! Now I am researching different ways of filtering and distilling water. Oh yeah and dip recipes. I found one for a squash dip. More to come.
