Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Some Food Advice

          There are plenty of sources today to get medical advice.  However, one must be very careful and check the source of any advice that you are given.  So recently I came upon some interesting advice which I want to pass on to you.

Q:    I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A:    Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it  ... Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q:      Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? 
A:      You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q:      How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? 
A:      Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q:      What are some of the advantages of participating a regular exercise program? 
A:      Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain ... Good.

Q:      Aren't fried foods bad for you? 
A:      You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q:      What's the secret to healthy eating? 
A:      Thicker gravy.

Q.     I've heard that it is healthier to eat colorful food.  Is that true?
A.      Certainly.  Grab a handful of M&M's whenever you have a chance!

Q:      Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? 
A:      Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q:      Is chocolate bad for me? 
A:      Are you crazy? HELLO  ......  Cocoa beans  ...  another vegetable!!! It's the best feel good food around!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.  Now go have a cookie .. . flour is a veggie!
