Question the Conventional

Hah! We have a viewer!!!

A lot of you don’t know that I have a TV show on CATV (T/TH at 7 PM…primetime baby!!!).  Anyway I just got an email from a fan!  Lots of exclamation points in those sentences.

Thanks Ben,

Since I sent you this e-mail I have watched your show every week. I really love the idea that there are no excuses just hard work. I want you to know that I walk at least a mile a day now. I have cut out some sugars, and drink at least 6 classes of water a day. Your right water does curb my appetite. I am going to physical therapy for my neck and lower back. So I thought that once the damage I had done to myself from yrs of self abuse of my body. I could never improve my range of movement. I was wrong I have also noticed my pain level has decreased. Thank you so much for doing a show that is both educational, and empowering to me. Keep up the good work. Oh I wanted to tell you My Dr said that swimming would really help me too so I am going to begin that next week.

Sincerly thank you!!

No more fat babies.

Scientists have learned that even though we’re all born with a certain number of fat cells, that number increases during infancy and again right before puberty. After that, most of us won’t make any more fat cells unless we gain more than 160 percent of our ideal weight. If your ideal weight is 130 pounds, for instance, you wouldn’t be adding any more fat cells until you reached 208 pounds.

Yet another reason to turn your children into pack mules.
