I'd like to share with you a video he made about how to make enough food for one week that's not only good for you, but also an excellent way to lose some weight.

Eat Better, Live Longer, Ignore the System
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the longevity movement – the desire and ability to live longer in good health is catching on. Even my 30-year-old grandson, Michael, is into longevity. He understands the importance of a superior, non-traditional diet, exercise, and a mindset that is leading him in the right direction. He is sharp as a tack, business-oriented, and has his … [Read more...] about Eat Better, Live Longer, Ignore the System

When ‘Excuse Me’ Means ‘Drop Everything’
Is it just me? Is anyone else tired of being interrupted with a demanding "excuse me" at the most inappropriate time? It doesn't matter what you are doing - whether on the phone, in a personal conversation, or concentrating on your work -- some inconsiderate privileged person who can't wait until you finish what you are doing will butt in with "excuse me," and woe be unto you if you ignore … [Read more...] about When ‘Excuse Me’ Means ‘Drop Everything’

Crude language has become common in everyday life. It really bothers me. People use it in movies, music, and online posts, and many think it makes them sound bold or honest. But using crude language has real drawbacks. It weakens communication, reduces respect, and lowers the quality of our speech and thought. As you know, I use the word "crap" a lot and I'm not happy with myself for doing … [Read more...] about The Problem with Crude Language
Guys, Take It Off – Take It ALL Off!
I don’t like facial hair on men, especially older men. Among other things, it’s just not attractive. Younger men grow a beard because they are young and think it’s sexy. They have not yet learned to think for themselves. Older men should know better, but they don’t. They want to look as sexy as the young guys, but they can’t. Their face looks like it has been hit by a 10-ton salvage … [Read more...] about Guys, Take It Off – Take It ALL Off!
Be Bold! Kick It To The Curb!
I don’t like using the words “crap” or “crappy.” It’s crude. However, there is no better word to describe many aspects of the American diet. A look at what’s in shopping carts at the supermarket shows where most health abuse begins. Abuse often happens because we are lied to or misled about the products most people eat. A current TV ad for a cornflakes product boldly and proudly … [Read more...] about Be Bold! Kick It To The Curb!
We Have to Talk About This
Let’s face it: as much as we’d like to think we’re evolved and tolerant, human beings are judgmental. You are. I am. Your Uncle Angus is. So is the Pope, though he probably would not tweet about it. To maintain politeness, perhaps we should refer to judgments as judgmental preferences. That has a gentler ring to it, doesn’t it? I’ll admit it — I have many, many judgmental … [Read more...] about We Have to Talk About This
