From the SPO Concierge,
Susan's hard drive had a malfunction, we are working on it now to help her get a few new blogs up these evening.

In the meantime enjoy this excerpt from her new book - The Politics of Stupid: The Cure for Obesity.

Food and Movement.

Let's talk about food. High fat , low quality, processed vs real food. Let's talk about food. I have a couple of dietary rules in my home, I've had them for years.

1. If it glows in the dark, we don't eat it. I'm not waiting for the florescent manufacturers to tell me their product isn't deadly because it is, done.

2. If there is one word in the ingredient list I can't pronounce, I don't buy it.

Why would I?

3. If I go into the store to buy maple syrup and I don't see the word maple in the ingredient list, it's not going into my body or my (operative word, my) sons’ bodies.

One real ingredient, there’s a standard.

4. Refined white sugar, refined white flour and refined white men are, directly connected. Especially the refined white men in the refined white house.

Four l0l food rules that affect/effect much. Huge changes can be made by you, with no expert in sight, simply by using your common sense. Now, watch as the politics and the menu plan mix and, they do. The most powerful consumer market in the massive food business is? Women. Imagine if you didn't buy:

The foods, sold to you.
The promises blasted at you
The flat out lies told to you....

A whole lot of foods, in my four simple rules alone, are immediately exposed. Imagine how much will change when you change what you are putting in, into your body and into your grocery cart. Ripples, yep and the $276 billion food industry knows it. An educated consumer is not the goal of billion dollar companies or, your health care experts. They are perched on very expensive, finely constructed pedestal and only one thing can knock them off, you.

Let's agree (and move the hell on) the advertising, socializing, and glamorizing of a 50% daily fat intake and, the life "ya just gotta be living" to get overfat and unfit is a extraordinarily well organized, heavily funded, much riding on it, club. A club (guess which gender) that welds the same power as all of the other clubs have for a good 5,0000 years. What that means to you and your daily fat intake, is, quite simple. You have to know, starting now, the truth. You have to know the truth and make the most basic, easy-to-do, know it once and for all, changes starting with three things. Fat, movement and thinking.

You have to know, from this moment on, that:

Eating a ton of fat and not moving are connected to you being overfat an unfit.

High fat foods for the most part are as obvious as daylight and, you already know what most of them are.

You already have (and have for awhile) a lot of the information you need to lose weight.

You have to know that a good place to start would be to cut back or, cut out:

- Tubs of soda
- Deep fried
- Buttered to the nines
- Creamy stuff that sits in freezer
- Doughy and gooey

Substitution lists abound.
Without knowing anything about nutrition and, you know:

A potato
Cut into thin slices
Is it high fat?

When those same thin slices are dumped into a vat of grease is it high fat?

No need, at this stage of the re-claim your body and brain game, to spend any time on the enormous amounts of:

Sugar,
Flavorings,
Enhancers,
Preservatives,
Poisons, the fast food boys add to what once was a potato. Or, the farmland they've destroyed to get you such crap, or the toxic chemicals they use to manufacture the massive amounts of, or the cancers skyrocketing in and around (globally) their "farmlands" or, or, or.....let's just stay with high fat, and what you can do about it now and, forever. I just made potatoes. Organic baby reds, pressure cooked for l0 minutes, drained, sprinkled with sea salt, a dollop of soy sour cream (just a tad) peppered and chived and, they couldn't have been better. I did not sit down and calculate the amount of fat, protein, sugar, fiber and everything else my potatoes had to offer. No need. What I did was eat them, over a three bean, spinach and tomato salad with sesame lemon dressing and enjoyed the hell out of it.

High fat foods are easy to spot and quite simple to cut way, way back on. Eating whole real foods is as easy as it gets. One comes from the vats of man, usually screaming “bargain and convenient” at you. And, the other? Comes from the Mother, Nature. The foods you hear nothing about. Not the foods being advertised at you. Food you don't have a clue what to do with and, why would you?

Grains, beans, fruits and vegetables. By the thousands of varieties. Bountiful. Dropping from trees, vines, bushes. I don't pick the stuff but, I buy it. Thousands of foods, prepared thousands of ways that you don't have to think twice nutritionally about. The foods on the parameter of your mega mart. The foods you have to have a teaching degree to get your kids to eat according to, the corporations who make the other foods. Foods that, until very recently, you'd be arrested if you suggested had anything to do with anything or, God forbid, could heal disease! Heretic, I could tell you stories and, will.
