F&W Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead

>>Around the time that Food, Inc. was introduced to my life, I decided to try and peruse the internet for different things which would basically horrify me in the same way. You know how the scientific method is--if the experiment is done once, it's not believed until everybody else has done it and came to the same conclusion.

>>The result? This nifty documentary which may have the weight-loss diet answer that America needs. What's the secret? Listen to what your mother's been telling you for ages: eat more vegetables. In fact, eat more fruits and veggies than any other food you eat. The show takes it to an extreme; Joe the protagonist goes on a 60-day juice fast and gradually adds exercise into his daily routine. You can see the difference on the cover.

>>Also, if you think that you don't need to lose weight so this sort of thing is too extreme and not for you, a 10-day juice fast showed that it helped a lot of people with day-to-day pains like headaches, backaches, and generally they just felt more energetic.

>>Compared to Food, Inc., I wasn't mortified by how cows standing in their own feces or shocked at Monsanto, but I was surprised to see what eating real food can do for you. The only downside to this fast is that the first couple days you're detoxing and you feel sad (JUST in those first couple days!). A lot of us feel like we don't want to get out of bed as it is, so why not try it? The end result is oodles of energy, more intense focus, and for Joe Cross, no longer having to take any medication.
