The other day I had an interesting conversation with my partner at work about the obesity rates in the United States. One thing is for certain, as an advanced civilization, natural selection (survival of the fittest) no longer applies for us. 10,000 years ago, you had to be fit to hunt, forage or otherwise chase down your food. You had to be fit to avoid becoming another animal’s food. You also had to be fit to defend your family, tribe or clan from intruders.The bottom line “back in the day” was if you were not fit, you were dead.

Fast forward to today. More than 60% of Americans are overweight. Dollar value meals and The Taco Bell Drive Through Diet have taken the place of eating real food. Our ancestors wouldn’t even recognize most of what is in the isles at the grocery store as food. Fitness has become synonymous with mindless hours on treadmills and elliptical machines. Weight loss pills that don’t deliver take the place of sound, sensible and tested eating and exercise habits.

If you are reading this, your are different from the rest. You believe in an honest to goodness hard workout. You believe that you are what you eat and strive to make the best decisions about what you fuel your body with. You believe in lifting heavy and running fast. You believe in the warrior class. You are strong.
