Sugar in the gas tank...

Last night I watched a dvd - a collection of "stand up" performances by Henry Rollins. One skit really struck a cord with me - I'm sure I won't do it justice - but I hope you get the idea.

Everybody has had a piece of crap car at least once in your life - right? That one car where you would rather just put a brick on the accelerator and push it over the edge of a clif and watch it burst into a giant fireball then look at it again. But you still love that car...it's YOUR car...you depend on this car to get you from A to B and back again. Much as you hate this car - you still take care of it. You would NEVER put sugar in the gas tank of this car - right? Not if you expected it to start the next time you got in. Why would you - cars don't run on sugar - they need gasoline and oil for their fuel. Putting the wrong thing in the gas tank is essentially poison. If your car starts the next time you need it - it's certainly not going to perform the way you expect it to.

Yet every DAY millions of people are paying their hard earned money to put cigarette smoke in their lungs, illegal drugs in their veins, high fat, poor quality foods in their stomachs. WHY? You would NEVER put sugar in the gas tank of your car, whether you were driving a Mercedes or a Yugo. NEVER!

So why would you knowingly chose to put "poison" into your gas tank - your body?

Something to think about - isn't it.........

That's why I passing on Happy Hour and training back and bi's tonight.

Cheers to "Lizard Lats"

Until tomorrow....
